This review focuses on the synthesis, properties and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), electron spin echo envelope modulation (ESEEM) and electron-nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy of mononuclear d1 oxo- and sulfido-Mo(V) complexes relevant to the understanding of the EPR-active Mo(V) forms of pterin-containing molybdenum enzymes.
