Abstract:The 32-electron benzylidyne-bridged complex [Mo 2 Cp 2 (-CPh)(-PCy 2)CO) 2 ] reacted with elemental chalcogens E n (E = S, Se) at 333 K to give the corresponding derivatives trans-[Mo 2 Cp 2 {- 2 : 2-C(Ph)E}(-PCy 2)(CO) 2 ], following from addition of a chalcogen atom to the Mo 2 C face of the central Mo 2 PC core in the parent compound, whereby a 5-electron donor, bridging chalcogenoacyl ligand was formed (MoMo = 2.8662(5) Å, CS = 1.757(5) Å in the thioacyl complex). These thermally stable products d… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
