Mo(PMe3)6 reacts with 2,6-Ph2C6H3OH to give the η6-arene complex [η6-C6H5C6H3(Ph) OH]Mo(PMe3)3 which exhibits a non-classical Mo...H-OAr hydrogen bond; DFT calculations indicate that the hydrogen bonding interaction facilitates oxidative addition of the O-H bond to give [η6,η1-C6H5C6 H3(Ph)O]Mo(PMe3)2H.
