Bis(η7-cyclo­hepta­trien­yl)tri-μ-hydrido-dimolybdenum(0,I)

In the title compound, [Mo2(η7-C7H7)2(μ-H)3], which displays crystallographic mirror symmetry, two (η7-C7H7)Mo units are linked along the Mo—Mo axis by three bridging hydride ligands. The Mo—Mo distance is 2.5732 (4) Å. The perpendicular distances of the Mo atoms from the C7 planes are 1.5827 (8) and 1.5814 (8) Å, with individual Mo—C bond lengths in the range 2.261 (2)–2.2789 (14) Å. Mo—H distances range from 1.77 (3) to 1.85 (4) Å, with Mo—H—Mo angles of 89 (2) and 92 (1)°
