Structure and reactivity of (Dibenzo[b,e]fulvalene)Mo2(CO)6

The title compound 1 was prepared by a one pot double-deprotonation, migration, and oxidation sequence staring with ( μ , η 6 : η 6 -2,2′-biindenyl)Mo 2 (CO) 6 ( 2 ). An X-ray structure was determined, and the relevant structural features are compared with analogous fulvalene and dibenzo[a,d]fulvalene complexes. The reactions of 1 with 4-...More
