Reaction of Mo(CO)6 with Alkoxide: Synthesis and Structure of the Mo(0)-OR Complex [Et4N]3[Mo2(CO)6(μ-OC6H4OCH2C6H5)3]

The reaction of molybdenum hexacarbonyl with C6H5CH2OC6H4ONa and Et4NBr in CH3CN at 60 ℃ afforded the di-nuclear Mo(0) compound [Et4N]3[Mo2(CO)6(μ-OC6H4OCH2- C6H5)3] 1. 1 crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P21/c with a=15.359(2), b=18.378(3), c=24.952(2)(A), β=102.268(4)°, V=6882.3(16) (A)3, Mr=1348.34, Z=4, Dc=1.301 g/cm3, F(000)=2832 and μ= 0.424 mm-1. The final R=0.0606 and wR=0.1552 for 9396 observed reflections (Ⅰ ＞ 2σ(Ⅰ)). 1 contains a [Mo2O3]3- core in triangular bi-pyramidal configuration and each Mo atom adopts a distorted octahedral geometry with three carbon atoms from carbonyls and three μ-O atoms from C6H5CH2OC6H4O- bridging ligands. The Mo…Mo distance is 3.30(8) (A), indicating no metalmetal bonding. A formation pathway via forming a di-molybdenum(0) di-bridging OR compound [Mo2(μ-OR)2(CO)8]2- has been figured out and the reaction of Mo(CO)6 with alkoxide has also been discussed.
