286 Alkoxo and Aryloxo Derivatives of Metals<br />

Figure 4.41 Structure of<br />

[Mo2⊲OPr i ⊳4⊲Pr i OH⊳4]<br />

( D O;ž D Mo; H atoms<br />

omitted).<br />

[Mo2⊲OPr i ⊳4⊲CH2Ph⊳2(dmpm)] was formed with the dmpm ligand bridging across the<br />

Mo Mo bond (2.253 ˚A). 247<br />

Interestingly in the dimer [Mo2⊲OPr i ⊳4⊲dmpe⊳2] the dmpe ligands chelate a single<br />

Mo atom giving an unsymmetrical Mo(IV)-Mo(0) complex with a Mo Mo triple bond<br />

(2.236 ˚A). 248<br />

From the reaction of 2-butyne with [Mo2⊲OCH2Bu t ⊳6⊲NCNEt2⊳] the novel complexes<br />

[Mo2⊲ -OCH2Bu t ⊳⊲ -C4Me4⊲OCH2Bu t ⊳5⊲NCNEt2⊳] and [Mo2( -OCH2Bu t )<br />

f -C4Me3CH2(NEt2)NHg(OCH2Bu t )5] were obtained. 249 Addition of quinones to<br />

Mo2⊲OPr i ⊳6 gave rise to edge-shared isopropoxo-bridged bi-octahedral complexes<br />

[Mo2⊲ -OPr i ⊳2⊲OPr i ⊳4⊲O2C6Cl4⊳2] and[Mo2⊲ -OPr i ⊳2⊲OPr i ⊳2⊲O2C14H8⊳3] inwhich<br />

the diolate ligands are chelating. 250 The adduct of 1,4-diisopropyl-1,4-diazabutadiene<br />

with Mo2⊲OPr i ⊳6 is the unsymmetrical binuclear complex [Mo2( -<br />

OPr i )2(OPr i )4(Pr i NCHCHNPr i )] in which one Mo is bonded to three terminal Pr i O<br />

ligands and two isopropoxo bridges whilst the other is chelated by the nitrogen-donor<br />

ligand, one terminal Pr i O ligand and the two isopropoxo bridges. The Mo coordination<br />

is distorted TBP in each case. 251 In the dimer [Mo2⊲ -NMe2⊳2⊲NMe2⊳2⊲OC6H10-<br />

4Me⊳4] which also has five-coordinated Mo (TBP) the c-4-MeC6H10O ligands are all<br />

terminal. 252 Treatment of Mo2⊲NMe2⊳6 with perfluoro-tert-butanol gave the Mo Mo<br />

(2.216 ˚A) bonded centrosymmetric dimer [Mo2fOC⊲CF3⊳3g4⊲NMe2⊳2] having an anti,<br />

staggered rotational conformation and a planar C2NMo MoNC2 unit. 253 A similar<br />

conformation was exhibited by [Mo2⊲OCPh3⊳2⊲NMe2⊳4]. 300<br />

With the hexafluoro-tert-butoxo ligand (hftb) the familiar non-bridged dinuclear<br />

molecule [Mo2⊲hftb⊳6] was obtained. 255 In the arylimido-bridged complex [Mo2⊲ -<br />

NAr⊳2⊲OBu t ⊳2] (Ar D 2,6-diisopropylphenyl), terminal tert-butoxo ligands give a<br />

distorted tetrahedral structure for this Mo(IV) compound (Mo–Mo, 2.654 ˚A). 256 In the<br />

metal–metal triply bonded (Mo Mo, 2.254 ˚A) dimer [Mo2⊲OBu t ⊳4⊲NHPh⊳2⊲NH2Ph⊳2]<br />

the eclipsed geometry is due to hydrogen bonding across the metal–metal bond. 257
