✦ Synopsis

The title compound, [Mo(C 5 H 9 N) 3 (CO) 3 ], was produced from Mo(CO) 6 and tert-butyl isocyanide in the presence of 10 atm of carbon monoxide (1 atm = 101325 Pa). The octahedral complex shows a facial arrangement of the ligands, the Mo-C distances of the isocyanide ligands being about 0.15 A ˚longer than the corresponding bond lengths of the carbonyl ligands. The crystal structure is influenced by one short C-HÁ Á ÁÁO contact, resulting in infinite chains which are interconnected by additional weak C-HÁ Á ÁÁO interactions.
