Metallocene derivatives of molybdenum

Reactions of the metallocene derivatives of molybdenum with pyrazole lead to the mononuclear complexes of the type 22. Structure 22 shows that it cannot be used as a ligand for the preparation of dinuclear complexes owing to geometric constraints [80JOM( 197)291 83JOM(253)53]. In acetone, an unusual complex 23 is formed [83JOM(253)53]. The bidentate ligand is the product of the reaction of pyrazole and acetone.
