The syntheses and electrochemistry of some molybdenum mononitrosyl complexes containing the tripodal ligand [Co(η5-C5H5){P(O)(OEt)2}3]–
Abstract
The bimetallic complex [Mo(NO)(CO)2L](L =[Co(η5-C5H5){P(O)(OEt)2}3]–) may be oxidatively halogenated using iodine to give [Mo(NO)Ll2] which is a monomeric complex containing a 16-electron {Mo(NO)}4 moiety. This di-iodide reacts with p-toluidine to give [Mo(NO)Ll(NHC6H4Me-p)] but is decomposed by alcohols or phenols. Reactions with the chelating ligands toluene-3,4-dithiol and 2-aminobenzenethiol afford [Mo(NO)L{SC6H3(Me)S}] and [Mo(NO)L(SC6H4NH)] respectively.
