X-Ray determination of molecular structures of molybdenum(IV) oxo-complexes. The possibility of a new type of isomerism
Abstract
Notable differences between corresponding bond lengths and interbond angles in the complexes blue cis-mer-[MoOCl2(PMe2(Ph)3] and green cis-mer-[MoOCl2(PEt2Ph)3] are caused by ligand repulsions; an explanation of the isomerism of mer-[MoOCl2(PMe2Ph)3] is suggested in terms of the structures of the above complexes.
