The synthesis of the bidentate Mo complex tetrachlorido[6-(3′-butylimidazolium-1′-yl)-2-(3″-butylimidazol-1″-yl-2″-idene-κC2)phenyl-κC1]molybdenum(IV)3was carried out using the metalation followed by transmetalation methodology. The transmetalation process led to a bidentate complex after the reaction of DCM with HNMe2formed an acidic ammonium ion that protonated the bidentate complex. Optimization of the synthetic methodology provided the tetrachlorido[6-(3′-butylimidazolium-1′-yl)-2-(3″-butylimidazol-1″-yl-2″-idene-κC2)phenyl-κC1]molybdenum(IV) complex in high yield. The crystal structure of the bidentate complex,3, is reported herein. Attempts to avoid the acidic reaction conditions with different solvents or starting materials produced the bis-ligated Mo complex bis[2,6-bis(3′-butylimidazol-1′-yl-2′-idene-κC2)phenyl-κC1]molybdenum(IV) dichloride based on MS analysis. Electronic and coordinative unsaturation in the resulting bidentate complex,3, open new possibilities for coordination of incoming substrates while also allowing access to the pincer-like motif via oxidative addition. Access to the interconversion of a NHC to/from imidazolium opens new avenues of non-innocent ligand pathways for proton shuttling in reactions such as nitrogen reduction to ammonia.
