Abstract

Reaction of 2, 4, 6-triphenylaniline with Na2MoO4 in the presence of SiMe3Cl and NEt3 in 1, 2-dimethoxyethane (dme) gave the oxoimido complex [MoCl2 (NC6H2Ph3-2, 4, 6) O (dme)]. Its crystal structure determination showed a distorted octahedron with mutually cis-oxo and imido groups, trans-chloride ligands and the dme oxygen atoms trans to the oxide and imide ligands. The Mo–Nimido and Mo–Ooxo bond lengths [1.756 (7) and 1.700 (6) Å] are ...
