The reaction of [MoCl(GeCl{sub 3})(CO){sub 3}(NCMe){sub 2}] with an equimolar quantity of LL (LL = 2,2{prime}-bipy, 1, 10-phen, Ph{sub 2}P(CH{sub 2}){sub n}PPh{sub 2} (N = 1 or 2)) in CH{sub 2}Cl{sub 2} at room temperature gave either [MoCl(GeCl{sub 3})(CO){sub 3}(LL)] (LL = 2,2{prime}-bipy or 1,10-phen) (1 and 2) or [MoCl(GeCl{sub 3})(CO){sub 2}(NCMe)(LL)](LL = Ph{sub 2}P(CH{sub 2}){sub n}PPh{sub 2} (n = 1 or 2) (3 or 4)), respectively. Equimolar quantities of [MoCl(GeCl{sub 3})(CO){sub 2}(NCMe)(Ph{sub 2}P(CH{sub 2})PPh{sub 2})](3) and LL (LL = 2,2{prime}-bipy or Ph{sub 2}P(CH){sub 2}PPh{sub 2}) react in CH{sub 2}Cl{sub 2} at room temperature to afford the cationic complexes [Mo(GeCl{sub 3})(CO){sub 2}(Ph{sub 2}P(CH{sub 2})PPh{sub 2})(LL)]Cl (5 and 6) in good yield. The cationic nature of 6 was established by chloride exchange by reacting Na[BPh{sub 4}] with 6 in acetonitrile to give the tetraphenylborate complex [Mo(GeCl{sub 3})(CO){sub 2}(Ph{sub 2}P(CH{sub 2})PPh{sub 2}){sub 2}][BPh{sub 4}] (7). Reaction of equimolar quantities of [MoCl(GeCl{sub 3})(CO){sub 3}(NCMe){sub 2}] and PhP(CH{sub 2}PPh{sub 2}){sub 2} in CH{sub 2}Cl{sub 2} at room temperature afforded the dicarbonyl complex [MoCl(GeCl{sub 3})(CO){sub 2}(PhP(CH{sub 2}CH{sub 2}PPh{sub 2}){sub 2})] (8) in good yield. 15 refs., 3 tabs.
