Dimolybdenum tetraacetate

A unique pair of stereoisomeric dimolybdenum amidinate complexes has been prepared and structurally characterized. The reaction of Li[PhC(NSiMe3)2] with dimolybdenum tetraacetate afforded trans- and ds-Mo2(02CMe)2[PhC (NSiMe3)2]2- While the acetates coordinate to the M02 core via a bridging mode in both compounds, the benzamidinates are bridging in the trans complex and...

In one example of the use of these techniques, one of the more effective methods for derivatizing 1,2-diols is the method employing dimolybdenum tetraacetate [Mo2(AcO)4] developed by Snatzke and Frelek. Exposure of the resulting complex to air leads, in most cases, to a significant induced CD spectmm (known as ICD). The method can be used for a variety of 1,2-diols.
