Synthesis and characterization of Mo(nor)4 (nor = 1-norbornyl)

  • 1. Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge (USA)

Description

A preparation of Mo(nor)4 (nor = 1-norbornyl) is described in detail. The complex was found to be stable to oxygen but to decompose in the presence of moisture. Mo(nor)4 did not react with pyridine, propylene oxide, 3-hexyne, 1 equivalent of CO, or 2,6-dimethylphenol in refluxing toluene. It was concluded that the large size of the molybdenum (IV) versus chromium (IV) is not enough to allow Mo(nor)4 to react readily with small molecules, certainly not dinitrogen. 22 references, 2 figures
