The neutron structure of [Mo(NC6H3Pri2)-2,6) 2Me2] reveals two highly distorted methyl ligands; this distortion is due to the presence of multiple C-H...M α-agostic interactions.

The reaction of [Mo(NR)2Cl2(dme)] (R = 2,6-Pri2C6H3, dme = 1,2-dimethoxyethane) with 2 equivalents of methylmagnesium bromide in diethyl ether afforded [Mo(NR)2Me2] 2 as a red crystalline solid in good yield. Treatment of 2 with the donor molecules tetrahydrofuran (thf), pyridine, PMe3, and PMe2Ph gave the five-coordinate adducts [Mo(NR)2Me2(L)] (L = PMe3 3, PMe2Ph 4, thf 5 or pyridine 6). Exposure of solutions of 2 to atmospheric dioxygen afforded the orange methoxide-bridged complex [{Mo(NR)2Me(μ-OMe)}2] 7. [{Mo(NBut)2-Me(μ-OMe)}n], 8 (n = 1 or 2) was obtained from the reaction of [{Mo(NBut)2Me2}2] 1 with dioxygen. The crystal structures of 2,4 and 7 have been determined.
