Abstract

Mo₂O₃I₂(dtc)₂(THF)₂ reacts with solvents in various ways depending on their coordinating ability. With weakly coordinating solvents the coordinatively unsaturated Mo₂O₃I₂(dtc)₂ results because the THF molecules have been removed. With moderately coordinating solvents the THF is replaced by solvent molecules resulting in Mo₂O₃I₂(dtc)₂(solv)₂. However, NMR and electronic absorption studies indicate that in CH₂Cl₂ and CHCl₃ solution the coordinated solvent molecules from the Mo₂O₃I₂(dtc)₂(solv)₂ species are dissociated. With the strongly coordinating solvent pyridine a complex results which has no MoO bonds.
