The quadruple-bond complex, [Mo2(p-O2CC6H4CF3)4·2THF], crystallizes in the triclinic space group P with intercalated pentane/THF lattice solvent molecules. The electron-withdrawing group on the paddlewheel carboxylate together with the axial THF molecules… Click to show full abstract

The quadruple-bond complex, [Mo2(p-O2CC6H4CF3)4·2THF], crystallizes in the triclinic space group P with intercalated pentane/THF lattice solvent molecules. The electron-withdrawing group on the paddlewheel carboxylate together with the axial THF molecules lead to a slight lengthening of the metal–metal bond, as predicted by Cotton.
