The crystal structure of [bis(2-diphenylphosphinoethyl)phenylphosphine-P,P',P''][bis(diphenylphosphino)methane-P,P'] carbonylmolybdenum(0), [Mo(dpepp)(dppm)(CO)] XX- [where dppm = Ph2PCH2PPh2, and dpepp = Ph2PCH2CH2P(Ph)CH2CH2PPh2], is reported. In the distorted octahedral complex, the tridentate ligand adopts a facial arrangement with the monodentate ligand trans to the central P atom. All Mo-P distances are statistically dissimilar.
