Two of a kind : Two agostic isomers of [CpMo(CO) 2 (P i Pr 3 )] + B(C 6 F 5 ) 4 − have been isolated. Both were characterized in the solid state by X‐ray crystallography and spectroscopic techniques, and also by DFT calculations. Significantly different LUMO energies cause the difference in color (blue versus orange, see picture) of these isomers.
