Abstract

The reaction between Mo2(TiPB)4 and 4-iso-nicotinic acid (2 equiv) in ethanol leads to the formation of trans-Mo2(TiPB)2(nic)2, I, where TiPB = 2,4,6-triisopropylbenzoate and nic = 4-isonicotinate. The molecular structures of I and I·2DMSO were determined in the solid state by a single-crystal X-ray study, and its electronic structure was determined by DFT calculations on a model compound, where ...
