Abstract
A crystal of bis(2,3-dicarbomethoxynorbornadiene)dicarbonylmolybdenum is in space group P21/c, with a 11.0406(25), b 14.7281(29), c 15.3310(27), β 110.38(2)° and Z = 4. Very large out-of-plane torsional angles (27-41°) for the vinylic carbomethoxy groups are observed. The bonding properties therefore are analyzed by comparison of spectroscopic data with those of related complexes, i.e. L2Mo(CO)2 where L = norbornadiene, 2-p-tosylnorbornadiene, and 2-carbomethoxynorbornadiene. Instead of σ-bond, metal to CC π-coordinations are believed to exist in these complexes. The presence of electron-withdrawing groups on the NBD ligands has increased their chelation strength, but at the same time has weakened the metalCO bonds. © 1986.
