Bimetallic Dihydrobis(methimazolyl)borate Coordination: Structure [Mo 2 {μ 2 -H 2 B(mt) 2 }(CO) 7 ][Au 2 (μ 2 -H 2 B(mt) 2 }](PEt 3 ) 2 ] (mt = methimazolyl)

Abstract

The reaction of Na[H2B(Mt)2] (mt = methimazolyl) with [AuBr(PEt3)] provides [Au{H2B(mt)2}(PEt 3)], which reacts with [Mo(CO)3(NCMe)3] or [Mo(CO)3(η6-C7H8)] to provide the bimetallic salt [Mo2{μ2H2B(mt) 2}(CO)7][Au2{,μ2-H 2B(mt)2}](PEt3)2], featuring tw
