Reaction of hexafluorobut-2-yne with halogenodicarbonyl(η7-cycloheptatrienyl)-molybdenum complexes; crystal and molecular structure of [Mo2(µ-Cl)3(η7-C7H7)2]+[MoCl(CF3C2CF3)3]–
Abstract
Reaction between the acetylene CF3C2CF3 and [MoX(CO)2(η7-C7H7)](X = Cl, Br, or I) affords dynamic ionic complexes [(η7-C7H7)Mo(µ-X)3Mo(η7-C7H7)]+[MoX(CF3C2CF3)3]–, the bridged trichloro-species being identified by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies.
