Abstract

The structures as determined by single crystal X-ray determinations of MoO2Cl2(OPMePh2)2 and various mixtures of MoO2Cl2(OPMePh2)2 (A), MoOCl3(OPMePh2)2 (B) and MoCl4(OPMePh2)2 (C) specifically in ratios 40.2/59.8; 30.8/69.2; 14/86; 4/96 in A/B, 100% B and 82/18 in B/C are reported. The structural data illustrate that both compositional and packing disorder afford mechanisms by which apparent long and different Mo-O bond distances can be obtained.
