Abstract

Tricarbonyl(π-cyclopentadienyl)molybdenum halides, [(cp)Mo(CO)₃X](X = Cl, Br, or I), (cp =η⁵-C₅H₆) react with MeCCMe and CF₃ CCF₃ to give the 16-electron bisalkyne complexes [(cp)Mo(RC₂R)₂X] whilst PhCCPh gives [(cp)Mo(CO)(PhC₂Ph)X] and the cyclobutadiene complexes [(cp)Mo(CO)(PhC₂Ph)₂X].
