Steric and electronic effects on the chemistry of molybdenum octahedrally co-ordinated by six nitrogen atoms. The molecular structure of [Mo{HB(3,5-Me2C3N2H)3}(NO)(pyrollide)2]
Abstract
[Mo{HB(3,5-Me2C3N2H)3}(No)I2] reacts with the nitrogen heterocycles Z to give [Mo{HB(3,5-Me2C3N2H)3}(NO)Z2]+, where Z = pyridine, imidazole, N-methylimidazole, or pyrazole, with monosidium organoamides to give [Mo{HB(3,5-Me2C3N2H)3}(NO)Y2] where Y = NHEt–, NHPh–, p-NHC6H4Me–, or pyrollide, and with moist tetrahydrofuran to give [Mo{HB(3,5-Me2C3N2H)3}(NO)I{O[CH2]4I}]; the molecular structure of [Mo{HB(3, 5-Me2C3N2H)3}(NO)-(pyrollide)2] has been determined.
