Three molybdenum(VI) dioxido complexes [MoO₂(L)₂] bearing Schiff base ligands were reacted with B(C₆F₅)₃ to afford the corresponding adducts [MoO{OB(C₆F₅)₃}(L)₂], which were fully characterized. They exhibit Frustrated Lewis‐Pairs reactivity when reacting with silanes. Especially, the [MoO{OB(C₆F₅)₃}(L)₂] complex with L=2,4‐dimethyl‐6‐((phenylimino)methyl)phenol proved to be active as catalyst for the hydroalkylation of aryl alkenes with organohalides and for the Atom‐Transfer Radical Addition (ATRA) of organohalides to aliphatic alkenes. A series of gem‐dichloride and gem‐dibromide compounds with potential for further derivatization were synthesized from simple alkenes and organohalides, like chloroform or bromoform, using low catalyst loading.

氧化钼基路易斯对催化芳烃与有机卤化物的加氢烷基化

使三个带有席夫碱配体的钼（VI）二氧化钼配合物[MoO ₂（L）₂ ]与B（C ₆ F ₅）_3反应，得到相应的加合物[MoO {OB（C ₆ F ₅）₃ }（L）₂ ]，这是充分表征的。与硅烷反应时，它们表现出沮丧的Lewis-Pairs反应性。特别是，[MoO {OB（C ₆ F ₅）₃ }（L）₂L = 2,4-二甲基-6-（（苯基亚氨基）甲基）苯酚的]络合物被证明可作为芳基烯烃与有机卤化物的加氢烷基化反应以及有机卤化物向脂肪族烯烃的原子转移自由基加成（ATRA）的催化剂。使用简单的烯烃和有机卤化物（如氯仿或溴仿），并以较低的催化剂负载量合成了一系列可能进一步衍生的二氯化宝石和二溴化宝石化合物。
