    Substitution Reactions of Molybdenum Hexacarbonyl and the Use of Infrared Spectroscopy as a Structural Tool 01-09-2011 Abstract A variety of metal carbonyl derivatives can be synthesized by substitution reactions. In this experiment two geometric [Mo(CO)4(PPh3)2] isomers A and B were synthesized and their molecular geometries were determined by means of infrared spectroscopy. Isomer A was synthesized first by reacting [Mo(CO)6] with sodium borohydride employed as a reducing agent and triphenylphosphine
