Özet

The zinc reduction of Cp*2Mo2O5 in a MeOH-H2O mixture in the presence of acetic acid affords the diamagnetic dinuclear compound [Cp*MoO(O2CCH3)]2. An X-ray structural investigation reveals a novel dioxo- and diacetato-bridged structure, with a relatively strong metal-metal bond [2.5524(3) Å]. The compound exhibits a reversible one-electron oxidation process in the cyclic voltammogram. A comparison with other related structures reveals the effect of the electric charge on the mononuclear or dinuclear structural choice. © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
