Molybdenum hexacarbonyl is a popular reagent in academic research. [6]One or more CO ligands can be displaced by other ligands. [7] Mo(CO) 6, [Mo(CO) 3 (MeCN) 3], and related derivatives are employed as catalysts in organic synthesis for example, alkyne metathesis and the Pauson–Khand reaction.
(Mesitylene)molybdenum tricarbonyl arises from the reaction of molybdenum hexacarbonyl with hot mesitylene: [1]. Mo(CO) 6 + (CH 3) 3 C 6 H 3 → Mo(CO) 3 [(CH 3) 3 C 6 H 3] + 3 CO It can also be synthesized, with good yields by displacement of pyridine ligands of the trispyridine complex Mo(CO) 3 (pyridine) 3 in the presence of Lewis acids.
C 7 H 8 + Mo(CO) 6 → (C 7 H 8)Mo(CO) 3 + 3 CO. The compound is a piano stool complex, consisting of Mo(CO) 3 bound to six carbon centers of the triene. The methylene group projects from the plane of the six coordinated carbon atoms. [3] The compound reacts with trityl salts to give the cycloheptatrienyl complex: [4]

The concentration of pure osmium tetroxide (molar mass = 254.23 g/mol) is c(OsO 4) = 5.1 kg/L / 254.23 g/mol = 20.1 mol/L. A typical protein in bacteria, such as E. coli, may have about 60 copies, and the volume of a bacterium is about 10 −15 L. Thus, the number concentration C is C = 60 / (10 −15 L) = 6 × 10 16 L −1. The molar ...
The M-CO and MC-O distance are sensitive to other ligands on the metal. Illustrative of these effects are the following data for Mo-C and C-O distances in Mo(CO) 6 and Mo(CO) 3 (4-methylpyridine) 3: 2.06 vs 1.90 and 1.11 vs 1.18 Å. [5]
2 Mo(CO) 6 + 4 HO 2 CCH 3 → Mo 2 (O 2 CCH 3) 4 + 12 CO + 2 H 2. Trinuclear clusters are byproducts. [7] The reaction of HO 2 CCH 3 and Mo(CO) 6 was first investigated by Bannister et al. in 1960. At the time, quadruple metal-metal bonds had not yet been discovered, so these authors proposed that Mo(O 2 CCH 3) 2 was tetrahedral.
The six CO ligands are terminal and the Mo-Mo bond distance is 3.2325 Å. [2] The compound is prepared by treatment of molybdenum hexacarbonyl with sodium cyclopentadienide followed by oxidation of the resulting NaMo(CO) 3 (C 5 H 5). [3] Other methods have been developed starting with Mo(CO) 3 (CH 3 CN) 3 instead of Mo(CO) 6. [4]
