Crystal structure of a methyl benzoate quadruple-bonded dimolybdenum complex

Quadruple-bond dimolybdenum complexes provide invaluable insight into the two-electron bond, with structural chemistry providing a foundation for examination of bond properties. The synthesis and solid-state structure of the quadruple-bonded dimolybdenum(II) complex tetra­kis­(μ-4-methyl­benzoato-κ...

Sumario:Quadruple-bond dimolybdenum complexes provide invaluable insight into the two-electron bond, with structural chemistry providing a foundation for examination of bond properties. The synthesis and solid-state structure of the quadruple-bonded dimolybdenum(II) complex tetra­kis­(μ-4-methyl­benzoato-κ (2) O:O′)bis[(tetra­hydro­furan-κO)molybdenum(II)] tetra­hydro­furan disolvate, [Mo(2)(C(8)H(7)O(2))(4)(C(4)H(8)O)(2)]·2C(4)H(8)O, are presented. This complex crystallizes in a triclinic cell with low-symmetry space group P [Image: see text] . The dimolybdenum paddlewheel structure comprises four methyl­benzoate ligands and two axial THF ligands. The dimolybdenum bond distance of 2.1012 (4) Å is exemplary of this class of compounds.
