Abstract

The title compds., Cr2PhNC(O)CH34 (I) and Mo2PhNC(O)CH34 (II), tetraamidodimetal compds. with quadruple M-M bonds, are described. They are prepd. by reaction of the M2(O2CCH3)4 compds. with LiPhNC(O)CH3. I is tetragonal, space group I4̅, with a 12.739(6)° and c 9.251(3) \AA; Z = 2. Each mol. has (̅S4) crystallog. symmetry and the Cr-Cr distance is 1.873(4) \AA. The ditetrahydrofuranate of II is monoclinic, space group P21/c, with a 9.849(2), b 11.622(2), c 17.957(2) \AA, and b 95.32(1)°; Z = 2. Each mol. resides on a crystallog. inversion center and has a Mo-Mo distance of 2.086(2) \AA. The ligand arrangement is different from that in I; the MoN2O2 groups have a cis configuration and the overall symmetry of the Mo2(NCO)4 grouping is C2h. This is the 1st time homologous Cr24+ and Mo24+ complexes differ structurally in a qual. way. on SciFinder(R)
