Abstract

The reaction of $[Mo(CO)_4(nbd)]$ (nbd = norbornadiene) with trans-$[EtNP(OC_6H_3Me_2-2,6)]_3$ $(L^1)$ or cis-$[EtNP(OCH_2CF_3)]_3$ $(L^2)$ yields the mono- and di-nuclear molybdenum(o) complexes $[Mo(CO)_4(L^1)]$ 1 and $[\{Mo(CO)_4(\mu-L^2)\}_2$ 2, respectively. They represent the first organometallic transition-metal derivatives of $\lambda^3$-cyclotriphosphazanes and have been characterised by elemental analysis and I R and NMR spectroscopy and their structures confirmed by X-ray crystallography. The different co-ordination behaviour of the cis and trans isomeric forms of this type of ligand is revealed. A pyramidal geometry observed around one of the nitrogen atoms of the $P_3N_3$ ring in complex 1 is unprecedented among $\lambda^3$- phosphazanes.
