The cis-dioxomolybdenum(V) radical anion, [{HB(Me2C2N3)3}MoO2(SPh)]–
Abstract
Reaction of [CoCp2](Cp–=η5-cyclopentadienyl) with [{HB(Me2tz)3} MoVIO2(SPh)][HB(Me2tz)3–= hydrotris(3,5-dimethyl-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)borate] in toluene results in the formation of green, air-sensitive, paramagnetic crystals of [CoCp2][{HB(Me2tz)3} MoVO2(SPh)]·C7H8, in which the structure of the MoV radical anion [Mo–O(1)/(2) 1.742(9)Å, O(1)–Mo–O(2) 112.1(4)°] differs significantly from that of the MoVI analogue [Mo–O(1) 1.702(4)Å, MO–O(2) 1.698(3)Å, O(1)–Mo–O(2) 103.9(2)°].
