Azirines and [Mo2(CO)4(η‐C5H5)2] are the starting materials for the title compounds 1. These compounds can be alkylated on nitrogen, and a novel 1,3 hydrogen shift provides a route to azavinylidene complexes.

Reaction of [ M o ~( C O ) ~( T ~X ~H ~) ~] with MeC2Me forms, via competitive reaction paths, the dinuclear complexes [Mo*(p-MeC2Me)(CO)4(r15-CgH7)21 and [ M ~~{ C L -( ~, ~-~~-C ~M ~~) } ( C O ) ~( ~~-C ~H ~~( ~-C ~H ~) I ; the latter on heating decarbonylates to give [ M O ~{ ~-( U , ~-~~-C ~M ~~) } ( ~-C O ) ( ~~-C ~H ~) ~~, which reacts with MeC2Me to form the 'fly-over' complex [Mo2{ p-(a,y3 : q3,a-C6Me6)} (q5-C&)21.
