Twelve compounds containing two quadruply bonded Mo-2(DAniF)(3) (DAniF = N,
N'-di-p-anisylformamidinate) units linked by dicarboxylate anions have been
prepared in high purity and good yields. All of these compounds have been
characterized by crystallography and NMR. The dinuclear pairs display elect
rochemical behavior which is controlled by the nature of the bridging dicar
boxylate group. As described by the Linkers, the compounds are oxalate, 1;
acetylene dicarboxylate, 2; fumarate, 3; tetrafluorophthalate, 4; carborane
dicarboxylate, 5; ferrocene dicarboxylate, 6; malonate, 7; succinate, 8; p
ropane-1,3-dicarboxylate, 9; tetrafluorosuccinate, 10; bicyclo[1.1.1] penta
ne-1,3-dicarboxylate, 11; and trans-1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylate, 12.
