title: A molybdenum complex with 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline.
abstract: In the title compound, tetracarbonyl(4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline-N,N')molybdenum(0), [Mo(C24H16N2)(CO)4], the Mo-atom coordination is distorted octahedral, with two CO groups cis to each other, but each trans to an N atom of the 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (dpphen) ligand, and with the other two CO groups trans to each other and on the axis position. The complex has better solubility than [Mo(phen)(CO)4], where phen is 1,10-phenanthroline.
