Abstract

Isolated quadruply bonded dimolybdenum(II,II) complexes have been grafted onto the surface of hexagonal MCM-41 mesoporous silica by diffusion of an excess of the complex salts [Mo2(MeCN)10[BF4]4, [Mo2(μ- O2CMe)2(MeCN)6][BF4]2 and [Mo2(μ-O2CMe)2(dppa)2(MeCN)2][BF4]2 into calcined and dehydrated MCM-41 in dry acetonitrile at room temperature. The physical properties of the resulting unstable materials, together with the nature of the host-guest interactions and the structure of supported molybdenum species, have been characterised by means of elemental analysis, powder X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption, FTIR and MAS NMR (13C, 29Si, 31P) spectroscopy.
