Introduction

Molybdenum hexacarbonyl [Mo(CO)₆] is a stable crystalline solid with an octahedral geometry (Figure 1). It is generally prepared by reductive carbonylation of molybdenum halides, or is obtained from commercial sources. Mo(CO)₆ finds use as catalyst or reagent in several processes, by itself or tuning its reactivity by ligand exchange. [1] Replacement of the carbonyl ligands by both p and s donors affords a large number of different molybdenum complexes which have found use in organic synthesis. The use of chiral ligands allows high levels of regio- and enantioselectivity to be attained. [2]
