Abstract
Lithium (4-phenylimino)-2-pentanonate reacts with Mo2(O2CMe)4 to replace 2 acetate ligands and afford red, cryst. Mo2(O2CMe)2[PhNCMeCHCMe(O)]2. The crystal and mol. structures were detd. by x-ray crystallog. The crystals belong to space group P1̅ with a 11.723(3), b 10.402(2), c 12.624(2) \AA; a 112.88(1)°, b 95.04(1)°, g 107.01(1)°, and Z = 2. The structure has cisoid arrangement of the bridging acetate ligands and 1 chelate ring on each metal atom. The unsym. chelate ligands are so arranged that the virtual symmetry is C2. The Mo-Mo distance is 2.131(1) \AA. [on SciFinder(R)]
