Reactions of GeMe2-bridged dicyclopentadienes with molybdenum carbonyl: formation of germylidyne trimolybdenum clusters

“…The formation of germylidyne cluster 4 involves cleavage of a Ge-Me bond. While there are some thermal reactions involving a cleavage of a Ge-Cp bond and formation of 2 and 3 reported previously [10,[12][13][14][15][16], there are no examples of Mo 3 (μ 3 -GeMe) cluster formation. Scheme 1.…”

“…with transition metal carbonyls have attracted attention [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. This research group reported a series of thermal reactions of the doubly bridged dicyclopentadienes (C 5 H 4 (X))(C 5 H 4 (Y)) (X, Y = CMe 2 , SiMe 2 , GeMe 2 , or SnMe 2 ) with M(CO) 6 (M = Mo, W), Fe(CO) 5 , and Ru 3 (CO) 12 [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. The bridging groups in the ligands could migrate to metal in the reaction to afford different types of products.…”
