Photoinduced synthesis of binuclear molybdenocene and tungstenocene derivatives: catalytic deoxygenation of epoxides by metallocenes
Abstract
The compounds [{(η-C5H5)(µ-{η1:η5-C5H4})Mo}2] and [{(η-C5H5)(µ-[η1:η5-C5H4])WH}2] have been prepared; the systems [M(η-C5H5)X2](M = Mo or W, X2= Cl2 or O)–NaHg deoxygenate epoxides catalytically.
