Tetracarbonyl{2-[1-(2,6-dimethylphenyl-imino)ethyl]pyridine-kappa N-2,N '}molybdenum(0)

Abstract

The title compound, [Mo(C15H16N2)(CO)(4)], was obtained by a one-pot reaction of Mo(CO)(6) with 2-acetylpyridine and 2,6-dimethylaniline in ethanol. The complex exhibits a slightly distorted octahedral geometry.
