A versatile route to well-defined molybdenum metathesis catalysts via mixed imido precursors: the molecular structure of [Mo(N-2,6-Pri2C6H3)(N-But)(CH2CMe3)2]
Abstract
The four-coordinate bis(imido) dialkyl complex [Mo(N-2,6-Pri2C6H3)(N-But)(CH2CMe3)2] is readily converted to well-defined alkylidene metathesis catalysts upon treatment with alcoholic or phenolic activators.
