A triply-bridged binuclear hydrazidomolybdenum(V) complex with terminal, bridging, and ‘dangling’ thiolate ligands. The chemical and structural characterization of [HNEt3]2[Mo2(NNPh)(NNHPh)(SCH2CH2S)3(SCH2CH2SH)]·2/3H2NNHPh
Abstract
The title compound has been obtained by treating [Mo(NNHPh)2(butane-2,3-diolate)2]·H2NNHPh with excess of dimercaptoethane in methanol; X-ray crystallography reveals the first example of a binuclear bis-hydrazido complex and a unique instance of a molybdenum(V) complex exhibiting thiolate co-ordination trans to a strongly π-bonding group.
