title: (Eta5-cyclopentadienyl)(p-fluorophenoxo)(nitrosyl)(trimethylsilylmethyl)molybdenum(II).
abstract: The title complex, [Mo(C(5)H(5))(C(6)H(4)FO)(C(4)H(11)Si)(NO)], is formed by reacting CpMo(NO)(CH(2)SiMe(3))(2), where Cp is cyclopentadienyl, with one equivalent of p-FC(6)H(4)OH. The complex exhibits the expected piano-stool molecular structure, with a linear nitrosyl ligand [Mo-N-O 168.2(2) degree] having Mo-N and N-O distances of 1.764(2) and 1.207(3)A, respectively. The phenoxo Mo-O distance of 1.945(2)A is suggestive of some multiple-bond character.
