Facile, metal promoted, oxidation of eta(4)-1,3-diphosphacyclobutadiene by water or methanol: synthesis of [MoCl(CO)(eta(4)-1,3-P2C2Bu(t)(2))(eta(5)-L)] (L = C5H5, C5Me5) and [MoCl(CO){eta(3),lambda(3),lambda(5)-PC2Bu(t)(2)PH(OR)}(eta(5)-L)] (L = C5H5,R = H, Me)
The new complexes [MoCl(CO)(η4-1,3-P2C2Bu(t)2)(η5-L)] (L = C5H5 1, C5Me5 2) are reported; facile oxidation of 1 with water or methanol affords a rare example of a mixed valence phosphaphosphonietinyl in [MoCl(CO){η3,λ3,λ5-PC2Bu(t)2-PH(OR)}(η5-C5H5)] (R = H, Me), which has also been structurally char...
