An orthometallated cyclopentadienyl phosphine bridge in a new type of heterobimetallic complex: [(η5-C5H5)(η5-C5H4)Mo{o-C6H4P(Ph)Cr(CO)5}]X (X = Cl, I)
Abstract
An unexpected product is obtained during the reaction between (η5-C5H5)2MoCl2 and Li[Cr(CO)5(PPh2)] resulting in the formation of a dinuclear complex with the novel [(η5-C5H4) PPh(Cr{CO)5}C6H4] ligand; the crystal structure of one derivative is reported.
