Formation of η6-pyridine complexes of molybdenum (0) by a σ to π rearrangement in Mo(N2)2(NC5H4-4-R)(PMePh2)3, RH, Me

The new complexes trans,mer-Mo(N2)2(NC5H4-4-R)(PMePh2)3, RH, Me lose dinitrogen in Vacuo at 25 °C in arene solvents to give Mo(η6-NC5H4R)(PMePh2)3, the first stable η6-pyridine complexes of molybdenum.
