The reaction of (η5 - C5 H5) Mo (CO)3- with p-CH3C6H4S(O)2O(CH2)3C6H5 produces (η5-C5H5)(OC)3Mo(CH2)3C6H5. This is only the second structurally characterized organometallic species in which an aromatic moiety is separated by three or more methylene groups. The alkyl chain adopts a staggered conformation, the Mo-C(1)-C(2)-C(3)-C(4) unit is nearly coplanar, and the alkyl chain eclipses the trans-carbonyl group on Mo. NMR evidence indicates that this conformation is preserved in solution.
