Hydride transfer reactions in dimolybdenum compounds A simple route to the novel μ-η1 η1-tetrahydroboride complex [Mo2Cp2(μ-SMe)3(μ-BH4)]
Résumé
The reaction of NaBH4 with the bis-nitrile compound [Mo2Cp2(μ-SMe)3(MeCN)2](BF4) 1 unexpectedly gives rise to the rare, stable μ-(η1-H)(η1-H) tetrahydroborato complex [Mo2Cp2(μ-SMe)3(μ-BH4)] 2, in addition to the expected azavinylidene product [Mo2Cp2(μ-SMe)3(μ-η1-NCHMe)] 3.
