The molecular structure of the cage complex Mo(CO)(4)[(Pr2NPO)-Pr-i](4)PdBr
2 has been determined by a single-crystal X-ray analysis. An adamantanoid c
age structure featuring a distorted octahedral Mo(0) and a square-planar Pd
(II) both chelated by an exo-ditopic P2O4 heterocycle was found. (C) 1999 E
