title: First crystallographic elucidation of a high-valent molybdenum oxo N-heterocyclic carbene complex [CpMo(VI)O2(IBz)]2[Mo6O19].
abstract: A high-valent molybdenum NHC dioxo complex [CpMoO(2)(IBz)](2)[Mo(6)O(19)] (IBz = 1,3-dibenzylimidazol-2-ylidene) has been isolated in its hexamolybdate form and crystallographically elucidated to show a Mo-C(NHC) bond of 2.173(4) Å. (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene).
