Bis(3-methyl­phenolato-κO)(nitros­yl-κN)[tris­(3,5-dimethyl­pyrazol-1-yl-κN (2))hydridoborato]molybdenum(II)

The title complex, [Mo(C(15)H(22)BN(6))(C(7)H(7)O)(2)(NO)], contains an {MoNO}(4) core stabilized by κ(3)­-hydrotris­(3,5-dimethyl­pyrazol-1-yl)borate, [Tp(Me2)](−), and two anionic m-cresolate ligands, leading to a distorted octa­hedral geometry for the Mo atom. The short Mo—O bond lengths [1.935 (2) and 1.971 (2) Å], as well as large Mo—O—Csp (2) angles [134.2 (2) and 143.54 (19)°], indicate dπ(Mo)—pπ(O) inter­actions, which are clearly weaker when compared with {Mo(NO)(Tp(Me2))} alkoxides. The nitrosyl system is virtually linear [179.3 (3)°] with Mo—N and N—O bond lengths of 1.760 (2) and 1.205 (3) Å, respectively. Intra- and inter­molecular C—H((Ph or CH(3)))⋯π((Ph)) inter­actions between adjacent phenyl rings are found in the crystal structure (d (H⋯Ph) in the range 2.743–2.886 Å). One of the Ph rings shows disorder, i.e. swinging in the ring plane.
