Abstract

Deprotonation of the complex [Cp2(CO)4Mo2(μ-PPhH)(μ-H)] by Bu(t)Li at -78 °C and subsequent addition of acryloyl chloride affords the metallophosphaalkene complex [Cp2(CO)4Mo212-PhP=CHMe)] in high yield; the complex exhibits cis/trans isomerism, both isomers having been crystallographically characterised.
