A μ-η1-azavinylidene complex: Intramolecular condensation of two acetonitrile ligands at a dinuclear molybdenum(III) site
Résumé
Removal of a proton from one of the two coordinated acetonitrile ligands in [Mo2Cp2(μ-SMe)3(CH3CN)2](BF4) (1) initiates its intramolecular condensation with the second of the acetonitrile ligands attached to the bimetallic [Mo2Cp2(μ-SMe)3] core, thereby giving rise to the novel μ- η1-azavinylidene complex (Mo2Cp2(μ-SMe)3[μ-η1-N=C(CH3)-CH2CN]) (2). Complex 2 has been characterized by NMR and X-ray methods.
