Abstract:
The title compound, [Mo(2)(C(5)H(5))(2)(C(12)H(11)P)(2)(CO)(4)]·C(6)H(14), is a centrosymmetric Mo complex in which two Mo atoms are connected by an Mo-Mo bond [3.2072 (12) Å]. Each Mo atom is coordinated by an η(5)-cyclo-penta-dienyl ligand, two carbonyl ligands and a diphenyl-phosphine ligand in a piano-stool fashion.
