  2. The title compound, [Mo(C 5 H 5 )(C 2 H 3 O)(C 24 H 27 P)(CO) 2 ], was prepared by reaction of [Mo(C 5 H 5 )(CO) 3 (CH 3 )] with tris(3,5-dimethylphenyl)phosphane. The complex exhibits a four-legged piano-stool geometry with trans -disposed acetyl and phosphane ligands. The molecular geometry is nearly identical to that of the triphenylphosphane derivative, but introduction of methyl groups on the aromatic phosphane substituents significantly impacts supramolecular organization. In the crystal, non-classical C—H...O interactions involving the acetyl carbonyl group lead to a chain motif along [010], and another set of C—H...O close contacts join inversion-related molecules.

    The title compounds, [Mo(C 5 H 5 )(COCH 3 )(C 6 H 12 N 3 P)(CO) 2 ], (1), and [Mo(C 5 H 5 )(COCH 3 )(C 9 H 16 N 3 O 2 P)(C 6 H 5 ) 2 ))(CO) 2 ], (2), have been prepared by phosphine-induced migratory insertion from [Mo(C 5 H 5 )(CO) 3 (CH 3 )]. The molecular structures of these complexes are quite similar, exhibiting a four-legged piano-stool geometry with trans -disposed carbonyl ligands. The extended structures of complexes (1) and (2) differ substantially. For complex (1), the molybdenum acetyl unit plays a dominant role in the organization of the extended structure, joining the molecules into centrosymmetrical dimers through C—H...O interactions with a cyclopentadienyl ligand of a neighboring molecule, and these dimers are linked into layers parallel to (100) by C—H...O interactions between the molybdenum acetyl and the cyclopentadienyl ligand of another neighbor. The extended structure of (2) is dominated by C—H...O interactions involving the carbonyl groups of the acetamide groups of the DAPTA ligand, which join the molecules into centrosymmetrical dimers and link them into chains along [010]. Additional C—H...O interactions between the molybdenum acetyl oxygen atom and an acetamide methyl group join the chains into layers parallel to (101).
