Abstract

Crystals of trans-tetracarbonylbis(trimethyl phosphite)-molybdenum(0) contain discrete [Mo(C3H9O3P)2(CO)4] molecules whose metal atoms occupy crystallographic inversion centres. Valency angles at the Mo atom deviate from ideal octahedral values by no more than 3.3 (1)°. Mo-ligand bond lengths are normal, with an Mo-P distance of 2.4256 (8) and Mo-C distances of 2.041 (3) and 2.037 (4) Å.
