(2,2'-Bipyridyl)tricarbonyl(di-2-pyridylamine)molybdenum(0) revisited

K. J. Muir, G. P. McQuillan and W. T. A. Harrison

Abstract: The previous structure report [Howie & McQuillan (1986). J. Chem. Soc. Dalton Trans. pp. 759-764] of the title compound, [Mo(C₁₀H₈N₂)(C₁₀H₉N₃)(CO)₃], has been corrected. In the present structure, the precision of the Mo-C and Mo-N bond distances for the fac-MoC₃N₃ centre are significantly improved, and an N atom and a C-H group have been exchanged. Possible intramolecular N-HC and C-HN and intermolecular C-HO interactions are described.
