Abstract

Treatment of CpMoCl₃(MeCN)₂ with SbCl₅ in acetonitrile solution provides the solvated cationic series [CpMoCl₂(MeCN)₃]⁺, [CpMoCl(MeCN)₄]²⁺ and [CpMo(MeCN)₆]³⁺ as hexachloroantimon(V)ate salts following sequential halide abstraction. Characterization follows from microanalytical and spectroscopic (IR, and ¹H NMR) data and, in the case of [CpMoCl(MeCN)₄][SbCl₆]₂ · MeCN, by X-ray crystallographic studies. The structure is disordered but individual cations contain a six coordinated pseudo-octahedral metal geometry in which the cyclopentadienyl ligand (regarded as unidentate) and the chlorine atom occupy axial positions with an equatorial array of four acetonitrile ligands.
