title: A Diazoalkane Derivative of a Polyoxometalate: Preparation and Structure of [Mo6 O18 (NNC(C6 H4 OCH3 )CH3 )](2-).
abstract: A new metathetical route to diazoalkane complexes is described which allows the introduction of such ligands into previously inaccessible environments. The method, which involves the exchange of oxo and [N2 CR2 ] ligands, is illustrated by the preparation of the first diazoalkane-polyoxometalate complex 1.
