ESR-Untersuchungen an μ-Dichloro-bis[chloro-bis(N,N-diäthyldiselenocarbamato)molybdän(V)]-dichlorid, [Mo2CI4(däsc)4]CI2

EPR-Investigations of α-Dichloro-bischloro?bis(N,N?diethyldiselenocarbamato)molybdänum(V)] dichloride, Mo₂Cl₄(däsc)₄]Cl₂. Preparation and bonding properties of the coordination sphere of Mo₂Cl₄(däsc)₄]Cl₂ studied by EPR, are reported. The EPR-spectrum at 77°K can be described by an axial symmetric spin-HAMILTONian, the parameters of which are g| = 2.046, g|= 1.996, A| = 53.5 · 10^?4 cm^?1, and A| = 22.8 · 10^?4 cm^?1. No ⁷⁷Se-ligand hyperfine structure could be observed. The very high g-values are explained as being caused by strong ligand spin-orbit interaction, CT-contributions and a high degree of co valency of tho Mo? Se bond. Using an MO-model of the symmetry C_4v, the bonding parameters of the first coordination sphere have been calculated.
