trans‐[MoF{NN=CH(5′‐R‐thienyl)}(dppe)2][BF4] (R = OMe and OEt) and trans‐[MoF{NN=CH(5′‐R‐2,2′‐bithienyl)}(dppe)2][BF4] (R = OMe, OEt and OiPr) were synthesised in good yields by treating 5‐alkoxy‐2‐formylthiophenes and 5′‐alkoxy‐5‐formyl‐2,2′‐bithiophenes, respectively, with the hydrazido(2–) complex trans‐[MoF(NNH2)(dppe)2][BF4]. The electrochemical, spectroscopic and solvatochromic properties of these compounds were studied. These results suggest that efficient π‐conjugated systems are obtained due to the low‐energy charge‐transfer between the metal atom and the heterocyclic moieties. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
