The addition of NaOMe to [MnMo(CO) 6 (µ-S 2 CPCy 3 )(µ-Br)] (1) produces [MnMo(CO) 6 (µ-S 2 CPCy 3 )(µ-OMe)] (2), containing a methoxide bridge between Mn and Mo. Compound 2 reacts with R-amino acids to yield, upon elimination of MeOH, the complexes [MnMo(CO) 5 -(µ-S 2 CPCy 3 ){µ-OC(O)CR 1 R 2 NR 3 2 }] (3a-f), in which the oxygen atom of the carboxylato group acts as a bridge between Mn and Mo, while the amino function coordinates the molybdenum atom, displacing one carbonyl ligand. In a similar reaction, the addition of ethanolamine to 2 affords the µ 2 (O)-η 2 (O,N)-aminoethanolato complex [MnMo(CO) 5 (µ-S 2 CPCy 3 )(µ-OCH 2 CH 2 -NH 2 )] (4). Reaction of 2 with cysteine methyl ester hydrochloride and NaOMe affords [MnMo-(CO) 5 (µ-S 2 CPCy 3 ){µ-SCH 2 C(COOMe)NH 2 }] (5), with the sulfur atom in the bridging position. The new complexes have been characterized by analytical and spectroscopic methods, and their structures have been determined by X-ray crystallography for 2, 3e (2,2-dimethylaminobutyrato), and 4.
