Hydride, halide, methyl, carbonyl, and chalcogenido derivatives of permethylmolybdenocene

Cp2∗MoCl2 (Cp* = C5Me5) is obtained via reaction of MoCl5 with a mixture of Cp*K and NaBH4 followed by treatment with CHCl3. Cp2∗MoCl2 provides access to a large variety of other permethylmolybdenocene complexes which include Cp2∗MoH2,Cp2∗MoMe2,Cp2∗MoCO,Cp2∗MoO,Cp2∗Mo(Me)Cl,Cp2∗Mo(H)I,Cp2∗Mo(EPh)H (E = S, Se, Te), Cp2∗Mo(η2-E2) (E = S, Se, Te), Cp2∗Mo(η2-E4) (E = S, Se), Cp2∗Mo(OSiMe3)CN,Cp2∗Mo(NCS)2, and Cp2∗Mo(N3)2.
