Photoinduced synthesis of binuclear molybdenocene and tungstenocene derivatives: catalytic deoxygenation of epoxides by metallocenes

TLDR: In this paper, the compounds [{(η-C5H5)(µ-{η1:η5-C 5H4})Mo}2] and [{ (η -C5 H5)X2] have been prepared, and the systems [M( √ C 5H5) X2 ], [M = Mo or W, X 2 = Cl2 or O] were presented.

Abstract: The compounds [{(η-C5H5)(µ-{η1:η5-C5H4})Mo}2] and [{(η-C5H5)(µ-[η1:η5-C5H4])WH}2] have been prepared; the systems [M(η-C5H5)X2](M = Mo or W, X2= Cl2 or O)–NaHg deoxygenate epoxides catalytically.
