Tetracarbonylbis(η5-cyclopentadienyl)bis[(dec-9-en-1-yl)diphenylphosphine]dimolybdenum(0)(Mo--Mo) tetrahydrofuran disolvate

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.Petroleum Research Fund, administered by the American Chemical Society; National Science Foundation IGERT Fellowship Program, grant No. DGE-054950
