Tricarbonyl[η5-2-(methyldiphenylphosphaniumyl)-1,3,4-triphenylcyclopentadienyl]molybdenum(0)
Abstract
The title compound, [Mo(C36H29P)(CO)3], contains an Mo0 atom with a typical piano-stool coordination defined by the phosphonium cyclopentadienylide ligand η5-1-(methyldiphenylphosphaniumyl)-2,3,5-triphenyl-2,4-cyclopentadien-1-yl and by three carbonyl groups. The distance between the Mo0 atom and the cyclopentadienyl ring is 2.0616 (13) Å.
