Formation of the molybdenum metallacycle [Mo(η5-C5H5)2{OC(O)N(Ph)}] from the formal [2 + 2] coupling of phenyl isocyanate with a metal-oxo linkage
Abstract
The oxo complex [Mo(η5-C5H5)2(O)](2) reacts with PhNCO to form the structurally characterized cyclometallacarbamate [Mo(η5-C5H5)2{OC(O)N(Ph)}](3), derived from the formal [2 + 2] coupling of the CN double bond of an isocyanate with a terminal metal-oxo linkage.
