A novel homoscorpionate ligand and its unusual bonding in a molybdenum complex
Abstract
The new ligand, hydrotris (2H-benz[G]indazol-2-yl)borate, (L) forms octahedral and mixed octahedral [CoL2] and [CoL(L′)][L′= HB(3-neopentylpyrazolyl)]; an unusual complex [MoL(CO)2(η3-CH2CMeCH2)], the structure of which is established by X-ray crystallography shows L acting in a bidentate manner.
