N-Chlor-Nitrenokomplexe des Molybdäns: MoF4(NCl) und [CH3CN-MoF4(NCl)] / N-Chloro-Nitrene Complexes of Molybdenum: MoF4(NCl) and [CH3CN-MoF4(NCl)]

Abstract

MoF4(NCl) has been prepared as a yellow crystal powder by the reaction of diluted fluorine with MoCl3(N3S2) at room temperature. The compound is associated via fluorine bridges, according to the IR spectrum. With acetonitrile, the monomeric complex [CH3CN -MoF4(NCl)] is obtained, which was characterized by its IR and 19F NMR spectra as well as by an X-ray structure determination. Crystal data: space group Pm, Z = 2 (1068 observed, independent reflexions, R = 0.03). Lattice dimensions at -90 °C: a = 507.1. b = 704.8, c = 995.8 pm, β = 102.02°. The unit cell contains two crystallographically independent molecules [CH3CN -MoF4(NCl)], the Mo≡N-Cl groups being linear (bond angles 176°, 178°) with bond lengths MoN = 172 and NCI = 159, 162 pm. In the trans position to the MoNCl group, the nitrogen atom of the acetonitrile molecule is coordinated.
