Molybdenum complexes of chiral C2-symmetric picchxn-type ligands: Synthesis, characterization, and structural studies

X-ray crystal structures of (κ3-Imchxn)Mo(CO)3, [(Λ-S,S-cis-α-picchxn)Mo(NO)(CO)]PF6, and [(Δ-R,R-cis-β-ImchxnMe2)Mo(NO)(CO)]PF6 illustrate a range of bonding modes for picchxn-type ligands.
