Abstract: | The isomers Mo2Cp2(mu-kappa(1):kappa(1),eta(6)-PR*)(CO)2] (1) and Mo2Cp(mu-kappa(1):kappa(1),eta(5)-PC5H4)(CO)2(eta(6)-HR*)] (2) (Cp = eta(5)-C5H5; R* = 2,4,6-C6H2(t)Bu3) react with AuCl(THT)] and with the cation Au(THT)2](+) (THT = tetrahydrothiophene) to give phosphinidene-bridged Mo2Au complexes resulting from the addition of an AuCl or Au(THT)(+) electrophile to their multiple P-Mo bonds. Removal of the Cl(-) or THT ligand from these derivatives causes a dimerization of the trinuclear structures to give the cationic derivative {AuMo2Cp(mu3-kappa(1):kappa(1):kappa(1),eta(5)-PC5H4)(CO)2(eta(6)-HR*)}2](2+), which displays a novel H-shaped metal core held by strong Mo-Au dative bonds 2.768(1) A] and an aurophilic interaction Au-Au = 3.022(1) A]. |
