Synthese und Kristallstruktur von (Cyclopentadienyl)(dicarbonyl)(1,5-di-/Molyl-pentaazadienido)molybdän, (Cp)Mo(CO)2(tolN5tol)/ Synthesis and Crystal Structure of (Cyclopentadienyl)(dicarbonyl)(1,5-di-p-tolyl-pentaazadienido)molybdenum, (Cp)Mo(CO)2(tolN5tol)
Abstract(Cp)Mo(CO)2(tolN5tol) is formed in the reaction of (Cp)Mo(CO)3Cl with tolNN(NH)NNtol and NaOH in ethanol. It forms red platelike crystals from THF/hexane which crystallize in the monoclinic space group P21/n with the lattice parameters a = 765.6(2), b = 2372.3(3), c = 1149.4(2) pm, β = 97.06(2)°, Z = 4. The structure consists of monomeric complexes. The pentaazadienido ligand chelates with its nitrogen atoms N1 and N3 the Mo atom of a (Cp)Mo(CO)2 unit. The nitrogen atom N5 is not coordinated to the metal atom. Although asymmetrically bonded, the all trans N5 zig zag chain is planar. The N -N distances in the four membered chelate ring are nearly equal (N1 - N2 = 131.0 and N2 - N3 = 132.6 pm)
