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. %I ACS Publications
