Half-sandwich molybdenum complexes: molecular structure and catalyst precursors for olefin epoxidation with tert-butyl hydroperoxide

摘要

Half-sandwich carbonyl molybdenum complexes with bulky triphenylcyclopentadienyl and cyclopenta[b]thienyl ligands have been synthesized, analyzed by X-ray diffraction method and tested as precatalysts in alpha-olefin epoxidation with tert-butyl hydroperoxide.
