Heterobinuclear transition-metal complexes have been the subject of numerous recent studies. The interest in such species stems from both the relevance of bimetallic compounds to bioinorganic systems and the potential for applications in catalysis. Of particular interest is the incorporation of both early and late transition metals into the same complex. Such compounds are expected to exhibit the ability to activate and polarize substrates like CO. This research is aimed at the development of synthetic methods for the incorporation of early transition elements into heterobimetallic complexes. To this end the chemistry of early-transition-metal metalloligands (complexes that are early-transition-metal species and yet have the capability of acting as ligands for other metals) is being explored. In this paper the use of the complex (C/sub 5/H/sub 5/)/sub 2/Zr(P(C/sub 6/H/sub 5/)/sub 2/)/sub 2/ (1) as a metalloligand is described. The preparation, the characterization, and the results of an X-ray crystallographic investigation of the Mo(CO)/sub 4/ complex of 1 are presented herein. The implications of these results are discussed. 33 references, 2 figures, 2 tables.
