Abstract
Abstract Lithium (4-phenylimino)-2-pentanonide reacts with Mo 2 (O 2 CCH 3 ) 4 to replace two acetate ligands and afford red, crystallineMo 2 (O 2 CCH 3 ) 2 [PhNC(CH 3 )CHC(CH 3 )O] 2 . The crystal and molecular structures have been determined by X-raycrystallography. The crystals belong to space group P 1 with a = 11.723(3) A , b = 10.402(2) A , c = 12.624(2) A ; α = 112.88(1)°, β = 95.04(1)°, γ = 107.01(1)°, and Z = 2. The structure has a cisoid arrangement of the bridging acetate ligands and one chelate ring on each metal atom. The unsymmetrical chelate ligands are so arranged that the virtual symmetry is C 2 . The MoMo distance is 2.131(1) A .
