The reaction of trans-Mo-2(O2CCR3)(2)X-2(PPh3)(2) with 1 equiv. of Hdpa (HdDa = bis(2-pyridyl)amine) in CH2Cl2 afforded the complex cis-Mo-2(O2CCR3)(2)X-2(eta(2)-Hdpa) (R = H, X = Cl, 1; R = H, X = Br, 2; R = F, X = CI, 3, R = F, X = Br, 4). Layering of a Mo-2(O2CCF3)(4) solution in CH2Cl2 with Hdpa in ether produced red and yellow crystals, which were characterized as Mo-2(eta(2)-dpa)(4) (5), and Mo-2(O2CCF3)(4)(eta(1)-HO2CCF3)(2). 2Hdpa (6), respectively. Complex 5 can also be prepared by reaction of trans-Mo-2(O2CCR3)(2)X-2(PPh3)(2) with excess Hdpa. Their UV-Vis and IR spectra have been recorded and the structures of 4, 5 and 6 have been determined. The Hdpa ligand in 4 is coordinated to the metal centers via two terminal pyridine nitrogen atoms with a cis-N conformation. The dpa(-) ligands in 5 are bridged to the metal centers via one terminal nitrogen atom and the central nitrogen atom. The aligned-N conformation of the dpa- ligand is stabilized by both the intramolecular Mo ... N and C-H ... N interactions. In 6, the CF3COOH ligands coordinate to the metal centers in the axial positions with eta(1)-bonding modes and the Hdpa molecules adapt cis-N conformations. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A.
