Abstract

Low energy barriers are observed for sulphur inversion in complexes [Mo₂(CO)₂(L)(μ₂-SR)₃(η ⁷-C₇H₇)] (R = Me, Et, Prⁱ, or Bu^t); n.m.r. spectroscopy reveals complete averaging of R group environments when L = CO but only a limited averaging when L = PR′₃, a situation clarified by an X-ray diffraction study of [Mo₂(CO)₂{P(OMe)₃}(μ₂-SBu ^t)₃(η⁷-C₇H₇)].
