%X The syntheses and single-crystal structures of Mo(CO) 3(phen)(dipy) ( 1), Mo(CO) 3(biquin)(dipy) ( 2) and Mo(CO) 3(dpme)(dipy) ( 3), (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, C 12H 8N 2; dipy = 2,2'-dipyridylamine, C 10H 9N 3; biquin = 2,2'-biquinoline, C 18H 12N 2; dpme = 2,2'-dipyridylmethane, C 11H 10N 2) are described. In each case, distorted fac-MoC 3N 3 octahedral coordination geometries arise for the metal atoms. Short intramolecular N¨CH¡­C interactions from the dipy N¨CH group to a carbonyl carbon atom occur in each structure.
