The new complexes [M(η 5-C 5H 4CH 2O) 2Mo(NO)L ★]; M = Fe or Ru and L ★ = (hydro)tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate, which contain a chelating metallocene ligand, have been prepared and characterised along with the related trimetallic complex [{Fe(η 5-C 5H 5)(η 5-C 5H 4CH 2O)} 2Mo(NO)L ★]. Their electrochemical properties are reported, and the reduction potentials for the {Mo(NO)} 4+ redox centre in the chelated species are 100 mV more anodic than for that in the trimetallic non-chelated complex.
