TL;DR: The heteroleptic molybdenum complexes have been analyzed quantitatively by means of linear solvation energy relationships based on Kamlet-Taft solvatochromism parameters, as well as on Drago's "unified scale of solvent polarity".
Abstract: The heteroleptic molybdenum complexes [{Mo(NO)Tp*X}n(L-L)] [Tp* = HB(3,5-Me2C3HN2)3; X = Cl, I; L-L = 4-NC5H4(CHCH)4C5H4N-4‘, n = 1, 2; X = Cl; L-L = {4,4‘-NC5H4CHCHC(Me)CHCH=}2, n = 2] have a low energy absorbance in their electronic spectra which exhibits solvatochromic shifts. These have been analyzed quantitatively by means of linear solvation energy relationships based on Kamlet−Taft solvatochromism parameters, as well as on Drago's “unified scale of solvent polarity”. Each of these approaches leads to satisfactory linear models, in qualitative agreement with one another. The solvatochromism is due to a combination of increased solvent dipolarity/polarizability and solvent-to-solute hydrogen bonding, each preferentially stabilizing polar ground states compared with less polar excited states. The latter originate from metal-to-ligand charge transfer. Quantitatively, the Drago and Kamlet−Taft models differ somewhat. The former are statistically slightly better than those based on Kamlet−Taft parameters.

TL;DR: In this article, the photochemical reactions of allyl complexes with allene, 1,3-butadiene, 2-methyl-1, 3-cyclohexadiene and 1-3-cycloenadiene have been studied.
Abstract: The photochemical reactions of [Mo2(η5-C5H5)2(µ-H)(µ-PR2)(CO)4](R = Ph or Me) with allene, 1,3-butadiene, 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene, and 1,3-cyclohexadiene have been studied. In each of these reactions allyl complexes of general formula [Mo2(η5-C5H5)2(µ-PR2)(η3-allyl)(CO)3] are obtained as major products. The 1H n.m.r. spectra of these allyl complexes indicate that they exist in solution as an equilibrium mixture of exo and endo isomers. In the reactions with 1,3-butadiene the allyl complexes are accompanied by very low yields of other species which are assigned the formula [Mo2(η5-C5H5)2O(µ-vinyl)(µ-PR2)(CO)] on the basis of spectroscopic evidence. The reaction of [Mo2(η5-C5H5)2(µ-H)(µ-PMe2)(CO)4] with allene gives as a major product, in addition to the allyl species, the complex [Mo2(η5-C5H5)2{µ-σ:η2-C(Me)=CH2}(µ-PMe2)(CO)3].

TL;DR: In this article, triphenylcyclopropenyl bromide has been used for X-ray structure determination, yielding a series of products [MoBr(CO)2(η3-C3Ph3)L2] and [MoCl(C4Ph3O(bipy))L2].
Abstract: Reactions of triphenylcyclopropenyl bromide with [Mo(CO)4L2][L2= 2,2′-bipyridine (bipy), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), or 2,2′-dipyridylamine (dpa)] yield the two series of products [MoBr(CO)2(η3-C3Ph3)L2] and [MoBr(CO)2(η3-C4Ph3O)L2]. The cyclopropenyl complexes were also prepared from [MoBr(CO)2(η3-C3Ph3)(NCMe)2] by reaction with L2 in MeCN, which yielded crystalline solvates suitable for an X-ray structure determination. Crystals of [MoBr(CO)2(η3-C4Ph3O)(bipy)]·thf, (1), are monoclinic, a= 9.87(1), b= 20.36(1), c= 16.23(1)A, β= 92.2(1)°, Z= 4, space group P21/c. Crystals of [MoBr(CO)2(η3-C3Ph3)(bipy)]·MeCN, (2), are triclinic, a= 10.552(8), b= 11.607(9), c= 13.801(11)A, α= 67.1(1), β= 100.4(1), γ= 89.5(1)°, Z= 2, space group P. 2 832 and 1 804 above background reflections were collected on a diffractometer and refined by full-matrix least squares to R 0.072 and 0.082 for (1) and (2) respectively. In both structures the molybdenum atoms are in octahedral environments, with the mutually cis carbonyl groups and the bipy ligand occupying an equatorial plane. In trans positions are a bromine atom and in (1) a η3-oxocyclobutenyl group and in (2) a η3-cyclopropenyl group.

TL;DR: In this article, the tetraphenylborato ligand was used as a catalysts for the reduction of olefins in a transition metal transition complex with (q7-cycloheptatrienyl) and (q6-tetrameryl)-molybdenum.
Abstract: Early in 1974, this research consortium began an exploratory study of the feasibility of synthesis of low-valent, stable, high-molecular-weight organometallic derivatives of the transition elements which, due to their respective structures and electronic configurations, might exhibit a series of stable oxidation states. It was anticipated that low-valent transition metal complexes incorporating formal charge separation would possess the requisite stability and, in addition, would offer the chance of providing oxidation-reduction catalysis for organic transformations.' Initial success in the synthesis of derivatives of the large, $-bonding tetraphenylborato ligand, coupled with the rich electrochemistry of these complexes, led to further investigations. By the summer of 1976, the first of these derivatives capable of effecting reduction of olefins had been prepared, characterized, and its intimate structure determined.',' Although a few compounds containing the tetraphenylborato ligand bonded to transition metals had been reported previous to, or concurrent with, our work, none of these complexes had been shown to act as catalysts for mediating organic syntheses.\"' In this report are described several new complexes containing the tetraphenylborato ligand, as well as some of the details of the catalytic activity exhibited by one of these molecules, (q7-cycloheptatrienyl)(q6-tetraphenylborato)molybdenum, the only sandwich complex of molybdenum containing both a seven-carbon and a six-carbon ligand.
