ABSTRACT: The reaction of [CpMo(CO)3]2 with dicyclopentamethylenethiuram disulfide in refluxing xylene resulted a novel mono nuclear complex,
cis-[(CpMo(CO)2{S2C-N(CH2)5}] as red crystals in moderate yield. The compound was formed by the oxidative cleavage of metal-metal bond in [CpMo(CO)3]2 together with a reductive sulfur-sulfur bond scission in the ligand.
