Abstract

The preparation, characterization, and electronic structure of homoleptic complexes of molybdenum and tungsten bridged by bis(alkylamido)phenylboranes, M₂[RN-B^Ph-NR]₃ (M = Mo, R = Et (1), Pr (2); M = W, R = Et (3), Pr (4)), are described. These triple metal-metal bond species (i) exhibit a nearly eclipsed ligand geometry and (ii) possess the shortest metal-metal bonds of neutral dimolybdenum and ditungsten M₂X ₆ complexes observed to date (d(Mo-Mo) = 2.1612(6) Å (1); d(W-W) = 2.2351(7) Å (4)).
