A superoctahedral complex derived from a polyoxometalate: the hexakis(arylimido)hexamolybdate anion [Mo₆(NAr)₆O₁₃H]^-

Abstract

Reaction of [Mo₆O₁₉]^2- with an excess of 2,6-diisopropylphenyl isocyanate (ArNCO) affords the title anion in which the hexamolybdate framework serves as an octahedral nexus for six terminal arylimido ligands.
