“…Finally, the phenyl-bridged complex gives again the analogous phenyl derivative [Mo₂Cp₂(Ph)(μ-PCy₂)(CO)(NO)₂], but small amounts of dinitrosyl derivatives having terminal benzoyl, [Mo₂Cp₂{C(O)Ph}(μ-PCy₂)(CO)(NO)₂], bridging benzoyl, [Mo₂Cp₂{μ-κ¹:η²-C(O)Ph}(μ-PCy₂)(NO)₂], and bridging phenyl ([Mo₂Cp₂{μ-κ¹:η²-Ph}(μ-PCy₂)(NO)₂], Mo−Mo = 2.9753(5) Å)) ligands are now formed. The latter complex can be selectively generated through the photochemical decarbonylation of the major phenyl complex. …”
