Mo4(η3-allyl)4Cl2(OH)2(CO)8: the first cubane-type Mo2+ organometallic complex with μ-OH and μ3-Cl bridges
An Mo
2+ organometallic complex with a central trigonal prismatic [Mo

2(μ
3-OH)
2]
4+ core, in which two of the faces are capped by μ
3-OH groups and the other two by μ
3-Cl anions, was synthesized and structurally characterized in the solid state. This complex constitutes the first example of an organometallic complex in which the central cubane core is composed of two distinct bridging moieties. The four crystallographically independent Mo
2+ centres are further connected to allyl groups and CO molecules.
