D. Miguel et al., INTRAMOLECULAR INTERACTIONS LEADING TO QUASICUBANE CAGES - CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF NO)(2)(CO)(4)(MU-KAPPA(2),KAPPA(1)-S2C(H)PCY3)(2)], Inorganic chemistry, 37(22), 1998, pp. 5944
Hydride addition to the central carbon of the S2CPCy3 chelate in [MoBr
(NO)(CO)(2)(eta(2)-S2CPCy3)] (1) is accompanied by loss of Br- leading
to [Mo-2(NO)(2)(CO)(4){S2C(H)PCy3}(2)] (2), containing two fragments
of ''Mo(NO)(CO)(2){eta(2)-S2C(H)PCy3}'' which are bridged by a sulfur
atom of each S2C(H)PCy3- ligand. Crystallography and H-1 NMR reveal th
e existence of H ... S interactions which may induce the adoption of t
he quasicubane structure.
