CHAPTER 4: Question 2

 

2D explanation

It was shown in Chapter 3 question 12 that this molecule contains two stereocentres (the two molybdenum atoms), one of which has the A-configuration and the other the C-configuration. Since the two stereocentres have opposite absolute configurations, this corresponds to the u-diastereomer.
