Bis(triphenylphosphine)iminium tricarbonylcyclopentadienylmolybdate

C. Evans, B. K. Nicholson and A. G. Oliver

Abstract: The crystal structure of bis(triphenylphosphine)iminium cyclopentadienyltricarbonylmolybdate, [PPN][Mo(CO)₃(⁵-C₅H₅)] (PPN⁺ = [(PPh₃)₂N]⁺, C₃₆H₃₀NP₂), is reported. The anion is configured in the `piano-stool' arrangement while the cation adopts a bent configuration about the P-N-P bond. An `expanded-phenyl-embrace' supramolecular motif is noted in the packing of the PPN⁺ cation.
