Tetracarbonylbis(η5-cyclopentadienyl)bis[(dec-9-en-1-yl)diphenylphosphine]dimolybdenum(0)(Mo—Mo) tetrahydrofuran disolvate

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Mo2(η5-C5H5)2(C22H29P)2(CO)4]·2C4H8O, contains two half-molecules of the organometallic species and two solvent molecules. Both organometallic molecules are completed by crystallographic inversion symmetry, yielding dimeric units with Mo—Mo single-bond lengths of 3.2703 (6) and 3.2548 (6) Å. Each Mo atom is also coordinated by an η5-cyclopentdienyl ligand, two carbonyl ligands, and a (dec-9-en-1-yl)diphenylphosphine ligand.
