Article abstract of DOI:10.1107/S0108270197009384

As a result of its trans geometry, the title compound, [Mo{(C₆H₄Cl)₃P}₂(CO)₄], has short Mo-P bonds [mean value 2.483 (1) angstroms] in spite of the presence of bulky chloro-substituted phenyl rings. The Mo atom displays nearly perfect octahedral coordination. Average Mo-C and C-O distances are 2.021 (5) and 1.141 (6) angstroms, respectively.
