Molybdenum(VI) and molybdenum(V) nitrido-complexes and a µ-nitrido-molybdenumrhenium complex
Abstract
Trimethylsilyl azide is a convenient reagent for the preparation of molybdenum(VI) and molybdenum(V) nitrido-complexes, most of which are air-stable crystalline solids; the 7-co-ordinate complexes, [MoN(S2CNR2)3](R = alkyl), are obtained from [MoCl4(thf)2], the silyl azide, and Me3SiS2CNR2, or from [MoCl(S2CNR2)3] and azides.
