Abstract
A stepwise route to bis-indenyl halide derivatives of molybdenum is reported. Treatment of [Ind2Mo(CO)2][BF4]2 with one equivalent of Bu4NBr in CH2Cl2 yielded [Ind2Mo(CO)Br][BF4] (1). When 1 was refluxed in NCMe and irradiated with a 60 W tungsten bulb [Ind2Mo(NCMe)Br][BF4] (2) was isolated. The reaction of [Ind2Mo(CO)Br][BF4] with LiBr afforded Ind2MoBr2 (3). The Ind2MoCl2 (4) analogue has been prepared directly by reaction of [Ind2Mo(CO)2][BF4]2 with LiCl.
