Aj. Bridgeman et al., [Cp-2(OC)(4)Mo-2(mu-PH2)(mu-H)] as a useful building block toward heterometallic clusters containing a naked phosphorus atom, ORGANOMETAL, 20(13), 2001, pp. 2932-2935
The reactivity of the title complex [Cp-2(OC)(4-)Mo-2(mu -PH2)(mu -H)] towa
rd a variety of metal carbonyls has been investigated. In each case heterom
etallic clusters are formed in which the phosphorous has been dehydrogenate
d to yield, for example [{Cp(OC)(2)Mo}(2)PMn-(CO)(4)], which contains a tri
gonal planar phosphorous atom.
