%X The known polymeric molybdenum nitrosyl halides [Mo(NO)2X2 (X = Cl, Br) have been prepared by the action of nitric oxide on Mo(CO)4X2. Derivatives of these complexes with bis(diphenylarsino)methane (dam) and its phosphine analogue (dpm) were prepared by direct interaction. In addition, complexes containing dam were formed by the action of nitric oxide on M(CO)2(dam)2X2 (M = Mo, W; X = Cl,Br,I). All compounds isolated were of the form M(NO)2LX2 and M(NO)2L2X2 (L = dam or dpm). Differences between the nitrosyl halide derivatives and the corresponding carbonyl halide complexes are interpreted on the basis of a steric argument.
