description

Complexes [Cp*2Mo2O5 ]( Cp* =η 5 -C5Me5) and [Cp*2Mo2O4] were investigated by combined on-line electrochemical (EC) reduction and electrospray-ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) techniques in a trifluoroacetic acid buffered water/ methanol solution. The reduction products at the larger negative potentials are identical for both compounds. The studies reveal the existence of a wide range of previously unknown di- and trinuclear Mo V ,M o IV ,M o III , and mixed-val
