Abstract

The reactions of TpiprMoVIO2Cl with salicylanilides and NEt3 produce cis-TpiprMo VIO2(2-OC6H4CONHR) (TpiPr = hydrotris(3-isopropylpyrazol-1-yl)borate, R = Ph, 4-C6H 4Cl, 4-C6H4OMe). The N-methyl complex, Tp iprMoO2-{2-OC6H4CON(Me)Ph}, is similarly prepared. Reduction of the amido complexes by cobaltocene produces green, EPR-active compounds, [CoCp2][TpiPrMo VO2(2-OC6H4CONHR)], that exhibit strong, low energy, v(MoO2) IR bands at ∼ 895 and 790 cm -1 (cf. ∼ 935 and 900 cm-1 for the Mo(VI) analogues). The X-ray structures of all seven complexes have been determined. In each case, the Mo center exhibits a distorted octahedral coordination geometry defined by mutually cis oxo andphenolate ligands..
