Study Notes
- Organometallic chemistry involves the interaction of metal atoms with a triply bridging CO ligand, which weakens the C=O bond further.
- The IR band for the C=O stretch is lower than in the doubly bridging case.
- In the doubly bridging CO mode, both metals can contribute electron density into CO p orbitals to weaken the C=O bond.
- Organometallic complexes can have a bridging CO ligand, acting as a 2-electron donor overall.
- The electron count for each Re atom in the complex is 5e, with a single electron donated to each metal.
- Nearly linear bridging carbonyls, such as those in [(h @C5H5)Mo(CO)3]2, release CO upon heating and react with it to form a product with an increased Mo–Mo bond order.
- The Mo–Mo bond distance shortens and the Mo–CO bond weakens upon increasing the bond order from 1 to 3.
- The interaction of metal d orbitals with CO p orbitals is an important factor in this reaction, leading to changes in the IR spectrum.
- The observed shifts in the IR bands are consistent with the changes in bond lengths and bond orders.
- The complex [(h @C5H5)Mo(CO)2-]2 undergoes a similar reaction when heated, with the Mo–Mo distance shortening and the Mo–CO bond weakening.
