trans-Di-μ-acetato-[μ-N,N-bis­(diphenyl­phosphino)aniline]bis­[chlorido­molybdenum(II)](Mo—Mo)–dichloro­methane–tetra­hydro­furan (1/0.3/1.7)

The mol­ecular structure of the title compound, [Mo(2)(CH(3)COO)(2)Cl(2)(C(30)H(25)NP(2))]·0.3CH(2)Cl(2)·1.7C(4)H(8)O, features an Mo—Mo dumbbell bridged by two acetate groups which are trans to each other. Perpendicular to the plane spanned by the acetate groups, the Ph(2)PN(Ph)PPh(2) ligand bridges both Mo atoms, having a P—N—P angle of 114.09 (19)°. In a trans position to the PNP ligand are two Cl atoms, one on each molybdenum centre. The Mo—Mo bond distance is 2.1161 (9) Å, within the range known for Mo—Mo quadruple bonds. The Mo complex is located on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis which runs through the N—C bond of the ligand. The site occupation factors of the disordered solvent molecules were fixed to 0.15 for dichloromethane and 0.85 for tetrahydrofuran.
