Abstract
On the basis of X-ray analysis the crystal and molecular structures of (η 5-C 5H 5) 2Mo(H)SnCl 3 have been determined. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system with parameters: a = 8.313(3), b = 13.109(4), c = 6.384(2) Å, β = 106.52(2)°, space group P2 1/ m, R = 0.028. The conformation occurring in Cp 2Mo(H)SnCl 3 is that with the maximum repulsion between the chloride atoms and the cyclopentadienyl rings. The hydride H atom is shielded by the cyclopentadienyl groups and chlorine atoms, which accounts for the compound's stability to oxygen and hydrolysis.
