Abstract:
The monomeric, homoleptic molybdenum(III) complex molybdenum tris(2,5-dimethylpyrrolide) has been prepared. Reduction with KC 8 in THF yields the molybdenum(II) complex potassium [molybdenum tris(2,5-dimethylpyrrolide)], while protonation with [H(OEt 2) 2][BAr (F) 4] yields a cationic species that contains an eta (1)-3 H-pyrrole ligand.
