The reactions of molybdenum oxo-complexes with substituted hydrazines. Part 5. The preparation of some organodiazenido-complexes of molybdenum

Abstract

We describe a series of complexes [Mo(N₂Q)(S₂CNMe₂)₃](Q = alkyl, aryl, or alkoxycarbonyl) and [Mo(N₂Q)₂(S₂CNMe₂)₂] prepared from [MoO₂(S₂CNMe₂)₂] and the appropriate hydrazine. Representative members of the former class of compounds can be protonated, alkylated, and arylated at the diazenido-nitrogen remote from the metal. The latter compounds are formed via intermediates which are probably [Mo(N₂H₂Q)(N₂Q)(S₂CNMe₂)₂]. The electrochemical properties of the new complexes are discussed.
