M. Handa et al., STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES OF A COMPOUND FORMED BY THE REACTION OF MOLYBDENUM(II) TRIFLUOROACETATE WITH 4,4'-BIPYRIDINE, Chemistry Letters, (11), 1993, pp. 1969-1972
The reaction of molybdenum(II) trifluoroacetate with 4,4'-bipyridine (
bpy) in acetonitrile gave a pale yellow compound. The X-ray structural
analysis of the compound showed that it consists of linear-chains for
mulated as [Mo2(O2CCF3)4.bpy]n and MO2(O2C-CF3)4.(bpy)2 dimers in the
crystal.
