Abstract
The first molybdenum complexes of widely used NHC-based CNC and C^N^C pincer ligands are described, viz. [Mo(L)(CO)3] (L = 2,6-bis(mesityl-imidazolylidene)pyridine ≡ CNC-Mes, 1; α,α’-(diimidazolylidene-dodecamethylene)lutidine ≡ C^N^C-12, 2). These complexes have been thoroughly characterised in solution and the solid-state, revealing different stereochemical preferences of the tridentate ligands depending on the nature of the scaffold. In the case of flexible C^N^C-12 an uncommon fac-coordination geometry is observed, whilst the complex of rigid CNC-Mes adopts the expected mer-configuration. For the combination of donors associated with the ligands, DFT calculations establish preferential fac-coordination, however, within the CNC (ΔΔG = +63.1 kJ·mol-1) and C^N^C (ΔΔG = +20.0 kJ·mol-1) scaffolds this conformation is significantly destabilised relative to the mer-alternative.
