Reactions with molybdenum atoms
The formation and reactions of (eta/sup 6/-arene)/sub 2/Mo(0), (eta/sup 6/-arene(eta/sup 5/-cyclopentadianyl)molybdenum(I) and (eta/sup 6/-arene)(eta/sup 5/-cyclopentadienyl)molybdenum(II) hydrides were examined. The formation of sandwich compounds of molybdenum by metal atoms was studied by the use of relative rates. The relative rates of reactions of Mo atoms with arene mixtures at approximately -170/sup 0/C are spaced over the small overall range of 3.7 for the following arenes: toluene, t-butylbenzene, o-xylene, benzotrifluoride, N-N-dimethylaniline, fluorobenzene, methyl benzoate and anisole. The photochemical behavior of (eta/sup 6/-C/sub 6/H/sub 5/N(CH/sub 3/)/sub 2/)(eta/sup 5/-C/sub 5/H/sub 5/)MoH was examined. Photolysis of the hydride produced hydrogen and a 17 electron compound, (eta/sup 6/-C/sub 6/H/sub 5/N(CH/sub 2/)/sub 2/)(eta/sup 5/-C/sub 5/H/sub 5/)Mo. Experiments indicated that the hydrogen was produced by a bimolecular mechanism instead of intramolecular elimination of H atom abstraction from the solvent mechanisms.
