First crystallographic elucidation of a high-valent molybdenum oxoN-heterocyclic carbene complex [CpMoVIO2(IBz)]2[Mo6O19]†
Abstract
A high-valent molybdenum NHC dioxo complex [CpMoO2(IBz)]2[Mo6O19] (IBz = 1,3-dibenzylimidazol-2-ylidene) has been isolated in its hexamolybdate form and crystallographically elucidated to show a Mo–C(NHC) bond of 2.173(4) Å. (NHC =
