Abstract
Hydride-bridged transition metal complexes have been found to serve as suitable precursors for the activation of small molecules without the use of reducing agents. In this study, we synthesized a dinuclear Mo2H8 complex supported by bulky C5H2tBu3 (Cp‡) ligands, Cp‡2Mo2H8 (1), from the reaction of Cp‡MoCl4 with KC8 under H2. The hydrides of complex 1 can be replaced with benzene at 60 °C to afford a μ-benzene complex Cp‡2Mo2H2(μ-C6H6) (2).
