Photochemical studies on binuclear hydrido-molybdenocene compounds
Abstract
Photolysis of [{Mo(η-C5H5)H}2(µ-η5-C5H4-η5-C5H4)](3), gives first cis- and trans-[{Mo(η-C5H5)H}2(µ-σ:η5-C5H4)2](4) and then [{Mo(η-C5H5)}2(µ-σ:η5-C5H4)2](1). Previously it was thought that the formation of (1) did not proceed via the intermediacy of cis- and trans-[{Mo(η-C5H5)H}2(µ-σ:η5-C5H4)2]. A new mechanism for the photolysis of (3) to (1) is presented.
