Abstract The first hydride-cyanamide (or -cyanoguanidine) complexes of molybdenum, [MoH2(NCR)(2)(dppe)(2)][BF4](2) (R = NH2 1a, NMe2 1b, NEt2 1c or NC(NH2)(2) 1d; dppe = Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2), have been prepared by treatment of [MoH4(dppe)(2)] in THF with the appropriate cyanamide (or cyanoguanidine) in the presence of HBF4. Reaction of 1a with a base leads to the bis(hydrogen-cyanamide) [or bis( hydrogen-cyananoimide)] complex trans-[Mo(NCNH)(2)(dppe)(2)][BF4](2) 2 or to the bis(cyanoimide) complex trans-[Mo(NCN)(2)(dppe)(2)] 3, via base-catalysed or base-promoted dehydrogenation, whereas cathodically-induced dehydrogenation appears to form [MoH2(NCNH)(NCNH2)(dppe)(2)](+4). The spectroscopic properties of the complexes are also reported along with their electrochemical behaviours and the molecular structure of 1a as established by X-ray crystallography which indicates the presence of the NCNH2 ligands involved in two hydrogen bonds connecting the ions in dimeric units.
