Abstract
Molybdenum pentachloride abstracts the oxygen atom from triphenylarsine oxide yielding (Ph3AsCl)+(MoOCl4)– and not the previously reported adduct MoCl5,Ph3AsO. Dioxan and molybdenum pentachloride yield MoCl5, Dioxan, which is the first well characterised adduct of molybdenum pentachloride with an oxygen-donor ligand. Oxygen abstraction however slowly occurs with dioxan to yield MoOCl3, 1 ½ Dioxan and 2,2′-dichlorodiethyl ether. Triphenylphosphine oxide in dioxan yields MoOCl3, Dioxan, Ph3PO. Reactions with tetrahydrofuran and other ethers have also been studied.Keywords
