%X Reaction of the bis-isonitrile complex [Mo2Cp2(μ-SMe)3(t-BuNC)2](BF4) (1) with n-BuLi (in hexane)
produced the dealkylated derivative [Mo2Cp2(μ-SMe)3(t-BuNC)(CN)] (2) in quantitative yield. However, upon
treatment with either NaOH (suspension) or (Me4N)OH
(in MeOH), 1 was converted into a mixture of 2 and the
μ-alkylidyne species [Mo2Cp(μ-SMe)3{μ-(η5-C5H4)(t-BuN)CN(t-Bu)C}] (3), in which a deprotonated Cp and both
isonitrile ligands of 1 are now linked by new carbon−carbon and carbon−nitrogen bonds.
