Synthetic utilization of the redox properties of some group 6 organometallic nitrosyl complexes Richter-Addo, George Bannerman

Abstract

The redox behavior of a series of organometallic complexes containing Cp'M(NO) groups (Cp' = ƞ⁵-C₅H₅(Cp) or ƞ⁵-C₅Me₅(Cp*) ; M = Mo or W) has been investigated both by cyclic voltammetry and by chemical means. The neutral 16-electron Cp'Mo(N0)X₂ compounds (X = CL, Br or I) undergo a single, essentially reversible, one-electron reduction in CH₂CL₂/O.1M [n-Bu₄N]PF₆ at relatively low potentials (
