Abstract
An X-ray determination of the structure of the compound originally formulated as the sixteen electron species π-C 9H 7Mo(CO) 2I has shown that this formulation is incorrect. The complex is, in fact, the tricarbonyl species π-C 9H 7Mo(CO) 3I, and is structurally very similar to related compounds of the type π-C 5H 5Mo(CO) 3 X. The Mo(CO) 3I moiety is a square based pyramid, the base of which is on the opposite side of the molybdenum atom to the planar indenyl group. The plane of the indenyl ligand is approximately parallel to the plane defined by the three carbonyl atoms.
