The oxidation of alkyne-bridged dimolybdenum complexes

Catherine Coates,   Neil G. Connelly  and  M. Carmen Crespo  

Abstract

The complexes [Mo2(CO)3L1(µ-R1C[triple bond, length half m-dash]CR2)(η5-L2)2](1: L2= C5H5, L1= CO, R1= R2= CO2Me; L2= C5Me5, L1= CO, R1= R2= CO2Me or Me, R1= H, R2= Ph; L1= CNBut or CNC6H3Me2-2,6, R1= R2= CO2Me; L2= indenyl, L1= CO, R1= R2= Me) undergo two sequential one-electron oxidations at a platinum bead electrode in CH2Cl2. Electrolytic oxidation of [Mo2(CO)4(µ-MeC[triple bond, length half m-dash]CMe)(η-C5Me5)2] gives [Mo2(CO)4(µ-MeC[triple bond, length half m-dash]CMe)(η-C5Me5)2]+; [Fe(η-C5H5)2][PF6] oxidation of [Mo2(CO)3(CNBut)(µ-MeCO2C[triple bond, length half m-dash]CCO2Me)(η-C5Me5)2] yields the paramagnetic salt [Mo2(CO)3(CNBut)(µ-MeCO2C[triple bond, length half m-dash]CCO2Me)(η-C5Me5)2][PF6].
