Abstract:
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Mo2( 5-
C5H5)2(C22H29P)2(CO)4] 2C4H8O, contains two half-molecules
of the organometallic species and two solvent molecules.
Both organometallic molecules are completed by
crystallographic inversion symmetry, yielding dimeric units
with Mo—Mo single-bond lengths of 3.2703 (6) and
3.2548 (6) A ˚ . Each Mo atom is also coordinated by an 5-
cyclopentdienyl ligand, two carbonyl ligands, and a (dec-9-en-
1-yl)diphenylphosphine ligand.
