P. Mathur et al., SYNTHESIS AND STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF TRANS-CP2MO2O2(MU-O)(MU-TE) AND CIS-CP2MO2O2(MU-O)(MU-S), Journal of organometallic chemistry, 542(2), 1997, pp. 265-269
The two compounds, trans-Cp2Mo2O2(mu-O)(mu-Te) and cis-Cp2Mo2O2(mu-O)(
mu-S), were isolated in 31% and 36% yields respectively, when a benzen
e solution of Cp2Mo2Fe2(CO)(7)(mu(3)-S)(mu(3)-Te) was refluxed for 3 h
in the presence of air. Characterisation was carried out by IR, H-1 N
MR and Te-125 NMR spectroscopy. The structures, established by single
crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, consist of an ore-bridged dimolybd
enum unit containing a mu(2)-Te atom in one case and a mu(2)-S atom in
the other. Also attached to each Mo atom are a Cp ligand and a termin
ally bonded oxo group. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
