A 2,5-di-(tert-butyl)phospholyl complex containing a molybdenum–molybdenum triple bond: synthesis, molecular structure and coordination chemistry of [Mo2(PC4H2But2)2(CO)4]
Abstract
The 2,5-di-(tert-butyl)phospholyl ligand may be used to prepare a molybdenum–molybdenum triply bonded tetracarbonyl dimer, whose behaviour resembles that of its cyclopentadienyl analogue.
