Abstract
MoO(OMe)4 has been prepared by anodic oxidation of molybdenum metal in anhydrous methanol containing LiCl as an electrolyte. The X-ray singl e crystal study showed the complex to consist of pseudo-centrosymmetri c dimeric molecules, [MoO(OMe)3(mu-OMe)]2. The general effect of the M (mu-OR)2M ring upon the arrangement of bonds with increased multiplici ty is discussed in this and related molecules.
