The trigonally symmetric Mo(III) coordination compounds [HIPTN(3)N]MoL (L = N(2), CO, NH(3); [HIPTN(3)N]Mo = [(3,5-(2,4,6-i-Pr(3)C(6)H(2))(2)C(6)H(3)NCH(2)CH(2))(3)N]Mo) are low-spin d(3) (S = (1)/(2)) species that exhibit a doubly degenerate (2)E ground state susceptible to a Jahn-Teller (JT) distortion. The EPR spectra of all three complexes and their temperature and solvent dependences are interpreted within a formal "two-orbital" model that reflects the ground-state configuration, describes ...[more]
