The reacction between Molybdenum (V) chloride and diphenyl chlorophosphine, tripheayl
phosphine in presence of t-butychloride, iso-butylchloride, t-amylalchloride,
cyclohexylchloride and triphenyl methylchloride as alkylating agents have been studied. The
molybdenum (V) derivatives of the type

C H P h P M o C l 6 1 1 3 6 (IX), P h C P h P M o C l 3 3 6 (X) have been isolated 1 : 1 molar
reaction.The reactions have been carried out in organic solvents media like CCl4 or CH2Cl2 or
acetonitrile at room temperatures. The general reaction is given as:
3
M o C l R P C l R C l R R P C l M o C l 5 3 3 6 x x x x 3
Where x = 1, 2, 3 R = Ph, Cl, R’ = But, Buiso, Amt, Cydohexyl, Ph3C
The isolated components are coloured solides. The compounds are insoluble in organic
solvents. The compounds are highly sensitive to air moisture. They are stiky in nature. The
compounds have bben characterized by elemental analysis, Infra-red (near and far) spectral
studies, electrical conductivity and magnetic susceptibility.
