Synthesis and X-ray structure of a complex containing two (η3-allyl)MoII units bridged by MoVIO42– and exhibiting an unusual type of aggregation
Abstract
Treatment of the [Mo(η3-C3H4Me)(bipy)(CO)2(Me2CO)]+ cation with an aqueous MoO42– solution enabled the first structural characterisation of an (η3-allyl)MoO complex, which aggregates to a dimer showing MoO⋯H–C contacts in the solid state.
