The reaction of cyclenphosphorane (cyclenPH) with Mo(CO)6 in refluxing toluene yields HcyclenPMo(CO)5 (4), in which the phosphorus is bonded to the molybdenum. The geometry around phosphorus is best described as a trigonal bipyramid with two nitrogens and the molybdenum at the equatorial positions and two nitrogens at the axial positions. The N-H axial nitrogen interacts with the phosphorus through its lone pair of electrons in a transannular arrangement with a P---N distance of 2.356 (23) angstrom. Reactions of 4 with electrophiles occur for the most part at the secondary amine of the HcyclenP ligand, even though its lone pair is involved in the transannular interaction. Protonation with HBF4 yields [H2cyclenPMo(CO)5]BF4 (5), in which the phosphorous is pentacoordinate and both axial nitrogens are protonated, while treatment with THF-BH3 gives H(BH3)cyclenPMo(CO)5 (6), the borane adduct of a secondary amine. Reaction of 4 with CF3SO3CH3 in a 2:1 molar ratio yields two products, CH3cyclenPMo(CO)5 (7) and [H2cyclenPMo(CO)5]CF3SO3 (8). The former is the methyl analogue of the starting material 4, while the latter contains the same cation as 5. Treatment of 4 with DMAD results in addition of the N-H across the triple bond to give the enamine (cis-CH3O2CCH = CCO2CH3)cyclenPMo(CO)5 (9). X-ray data for 9: C17H23N4O9PMo, monoclinic, space group c2/c, a = 27.10 (3) angstrom, b = 12.063 (14) angstrom, c = 14.688 (10) angstrom, beta = 94.12 (7)-degrees, Z = 8, R = 0.029, R(w) = 0.028.
