Abstract

The dimolybdenum alkyne complexes [Mo2(µ-R1C[triple bond, length as m-dash]CR1)(CO)4 (η-C5H5)2] (R1 [double bond, length as m-dash] CO2Me, Ph) react with 1,3-dithiole-2-thiones by cleavage of the C[double bond, length as m-dash]S bond, ring opening of the resulting carbene and coupling with the alkyne ligand; one of the products, [Mo2(µ-S)(µ-SCR2[double bond, length as m-dash]CR2SCCR 1CR1)(η-C5H5)2] (R1 = R2 = CO2Me), is structurally characterised.
