Abstract

Chemistry Chemistry, Inorganic & Nuclear Physical Sciences Science & Technology
EPR spectroscopy and theoretical data show that the slow heterogeneous electron-transfer kinetics associated with the reduction of an 18-electron Mo(IV) acetato dihydride are a consequence of an eta(2)-eta(1) rearrangement of the carboxylate ligand which gives a unique paramagnetic 17-electron Mo(III) dihydride.
