New organometallic indium nitrogen compounds. Synthesis and crystal structures of [{Cp (CO)(3)Mo}(2)InN(SiMe3)(2)] and [{Cp (CO)(3)Mo}In{N(SiMe3)(2)}(2)]

The reaction of [(Cp(CO)(3)Mo}(2)InCl] with LiN . (SiMe3)(2) leads to the f ormation of [{Cp(CO)(3)Mo}(2)InN . (SiMe3)(2)] (1). 1 is monomeric and it c ontains an indium atom which is coordinated in a trigonal planar,manner by two (Cp(CO)(3)Mo} fragments and a N(SiMe3)(2) group. The corresponding bis- amide [(Cp(CO)(3)Mo)In{N(SiMe3)(2))(2)] (2) is prepared by the reaction of [(Cp(CO)(3)Mo}InCl2] with two equivalents of LiN(SiMe3)(2). In analogy to 1 , 2 is monomeric and it contains ari indium atom in a trigonal planar coord ination.
