Pentacarbonyl[diphenyl(perfluorovinyl)phosphine]molybdenum(0)

Abstract

In the title compound, [Mo{(C2F3)PPh2}(CO)5], the Mo atom occupies the center of a slightly distorted octahedral environment, bound to five carbonyl groups and one phosphine ligand, so that the local symmetry of the Mo(CO)4P portion of the mol­ecule is approximately C4v. The P atom sits in a distorted-tetrahedral environment; the C—P—Mo angles are much larger than the C—P—C angles. The C2F3 group is rotationally disordered by ∼180°.
