Reaction of trans-Mo(dmpe) 2 (Cl)(NO) (1) [dmpe = bis(dimethylphosphanyl)ethane] with lithium triethylborohydride and lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide affords the adducts [Mo(dmpe) 2 (Cl)(NO)(LiHBEt 3 )] n (2) and {Mo(dmpe) 2 (Cl)-(NO)[LiN(SiMe 3 ) 2 ] 2 } n (3), respectively, and the reaction of 1 with n-butyllithium and iodomethane generates the complex [Mo(dmpe) 2 (Cl)(NO)] 3 (LiI) 2 (4). Complexes 2-4 have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The structure of 2 shows an infinite one-dimensional "zigzag" chain constructed from an alternating arrangement of Mo(dmpe) 2 (Cl)(NO) and LiHBEt 3 moieties, whereas the Transition metal nitrosyl complexes have received considerable attention for many years due to their potential applications as catalysts in organic synthesis and small molecule activation. [1,2] Our interest in this field lies mainly in the chemistry of nitrosyl hydrido transition metal complexes. In this context a series of compounds of manganese, [3] rhenium, [4] chromium, [5] tungsten, [6] and molybdenum [7] have been synthesized and explored in particular with regard to hydride-transfer chemistry. It has been found that the nitrosyl group exhibits versatile functions in such compounds. It can stabilize the different oxidation states of the metal center, [1,8] and it can induce quite strong hydridic polarization by the "nitrosyl effect"; thus the nitrosyl group promotes the activation of the metal-hydrogen bond.[9] Additionally, the nitrosyl group can show a certain amount of Lewis base behavior by interacting with Lewis acids at the oxygen atom site. [8,10] The nitrosyl ligand/Lewis acid interactions have been found to sometimes play a key role in organic (organometallic) syntheses and reactions. For example, the catalytic oxidation of alcohols by a cobalt nitro/nitrosyl couple with the use of molecular oxygen as an oxidant was found to be facilitated by Lewis acids such as BF 3 ·Et 2 O or LiPF 6 . [11] The effects of the Lewis acids in the reaction were attributed to their interactions with nitro and nitrosyl ligands. In dinitrosyl complexes Re(H)(NO) 2 (PR 3 ) 2 (R = iPr, Cy), one
