Anionische Komplexe [Mo2(O2CPh)4X2]2⊖ mit X = N3, Cl, Br. Die Kristallstruktur von (PPh4)2[Mo2(O2CPh)4Cl2] · 2CH2Cl2 / Anionic Complexes [Mo2(O2C-Ph)4X2]2⊖ with X = N3, Cl, Br. The Crystal Structure of (PPh4)2[Mo2(O2C-Ph)4Cl2] · 2CH2Cl2

Abstract

The syntheses and IR spectra of the complexes [Mo2(O2C-Ph)4X2]2⊖ with X = N3, CI, Br and the counter ion PPh4 ⊕ are reported. The azido and the bromo complexes are obtained from a solution of [Mo2(O2CPh)4] with PPh4N3 in pyridine or by reaction with PPh4Br in CH2Br2, respectively. When (PPh4)2[Mo2(O2CPh)4(N3)2] is dissolved in CH2Cl2, nitrogen is evolved and the complex with X = CI is obtained. The crystal structure of (PPh4)2[Mo2(O2CPh)4Cl2] · 2CH2Cl2 was determined from X-ray diffraction data (5676 observed independent reflexions, R = 0.042). It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with four formula units per unit cell; the lattice constants are a = 1549, b = 1400, c = 1648 pm, β = 94.6°. The centrosymmetric [Mo2(O2CPh)4Cl2]2⊖ ion has a rather short Mo-Mo bond of 213 pm, whereas the MoCl bonds are very long (288 pm)
