M. Minato et al., SYNTHESES AND SPECTROSCOPIC PROPERTIES OF SUBSTITUTED PHTHALIMIDO COMPLEXES OF MOLYBDENUM(II), Bulletin of the Chemical Society of Japan, 70(11), 1997, pp. 2771-2775
[MoH2(OMe)(2)(dppe)(2)] reacts with a series of phthalimide derivative
s, each of which contains an electron-donor, an electron-acceptor, or
redox-active center, to give the corresponding (substituted phthalimid
o)hydrido complexes in good yields. Investigation of spectroscopic pro
perties suggests that some of these complexes have a polarized structu
re in a polar solvent.
