Abstract

In the title compound, [Mo2(η7-C7H7)2(μ-H)3], which displays crystallographic mirror symmetry, two (η7-C7H7)Mo units are linked along the Mo—Mo axis by three bridging hydride ligands. The Mo—Mo distance is 2.5732 (4) Å. The perpendicular distances of the Mo atoms from the C7 planes are 1.5827 (8) and 1.5814 (8) Å, with individual Mo—C bond lengths in the range 2.261 (2)–2.2789 (14) Å. Mo—H distances range from 1.77 (3) to 1.85 (4) Å, with Mo—H—Mo angles of 89 (2) and 92 (1)°.

Highlights

  • In the title compound, [Mo2(7-C7H7)2(-H)3], which displays crystallographic mirror symmetry, two (7-C7H7)Mo units are linked along the Mo—Mo axis by three bridging hydride ligands

  • Supplementary data and figures for this paper are available from the IUCr electronic archives (Reference: BT2832)

  • R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger
