Abstract:
The title molecule, [Mo[P(C6H5)2(C6H4F)](HNC5H10)(CO)4] or [Mo(C18H14FP)(C5H11N)(CO)4], has irregular octahedral geometry about the Mo atom. The molecules form a complicated hydrogen-bonded network comprising C-H...O, C-H...F and C-H...pi hydrogen bonds and pi-pi interactions. The C-H...pi and pi-pi interactions form chains containing C-H...pi/pi-pi dimers linked via C-H...pi interactions and the chains are linked into a three-dimensional network via C-H...O and C-H...F hydrogen bonds.
