Abstract

The complexes [Mo(CO)4(L2-N,N′)] [L2 = 1-methylimidazol-2-yl(pyridin-2-yl)methanone and 1-benzylimidazol-2-yl(1-phenylaldimine)] have been synthesized from hexacarbonylmolybdenum(0) in order to define the coordination characteristics of the bidentate nitrogen-donor ligands; the complexes exhibit distorted octahedral coordination for molybdenum(0) and cis-bidentate ligand configurations.
