Abstract
In the title compound, [Mo(C5H5)(CO)2(C3H9P)2]CF3SO3, the cationic complex displays a classical four-legged piano-stool square-pyramidal geometry with a trans configuration of the basal ligands around the Mo atom. The cyclopentadienyl (Cp) ligand occupies the apical position of the piano-stool configuration. The average Mo—P bond length of the two trans PMe3 ligands is 2.474 (5) Å and the Mo—Cp centroid distance is 2.003 (2) Å.
