Reaction of CpNbCl{sub 4} (Cp = {eta}-C{sub 5}H{sub 5}) with (Pr{sup i}O){sub 2}P(S)(SH) in the presence of NEt{sub 3} yields CpNbCl{sub 3}(S{sub 2}P(S{sub 2}Pr{sup i}){sub 2}) (1). Reduction of 1 with Na/Hg affords the Nb-Nb-bonded complex CpNbCl({mu}-Cl){sub 2}Nb(S{sub 2}P(OR){sub 2})Cp (2). In refluxing toluene, (Pr{sup i}O){sub 2}P(S)(SH) with (Cp{prime}Mo(CO){sub 3}){sub 2} (Cp{prime} = {eta}-C{sub 5}H{sub 4}Me) gives cis-Cp{prime}Mo(CO){sub 2}(S{sub 2}P(OPr{sup i}){sub 2}) (3). Oxidation of 3 with I{sub 2} affords Cp{prime}MoI{sub 2}(CO)(S{sub 2}P(OPr{sup i}){sub 2}) (4). The crystal structures of 1-3 are compared. For 1, triclinic, P{bar 1}, a = 7.122 (3) {angstrom}, b = 11.365 (4) {angstrom}, c = 12.532 (4) {angstrom}, {alpha} = 77.38 (3){degree}, {beta} = 89.08 (3){degree}, {gamma} = 72.87 (3){degree}, V = 944.5 (8) {angstrom}{sup 3}. For 2, triclinic, P{bar 1}, a = 7.251 (3) {angstrom}, b = 12.386 (5) {angstrom}, c = 13.988 (5) {angstrom}, {alpha} = 102.66 (3){degree}, {beta} = 103.56 (3){degree}, {gamma} = 94.66 (3){degree}, V = 1180.0 (8) {angstrom}{sup 3}, Z = 2. For 3, orthorhombic, Pbca, a = 12.703 (3) {angstrom}, b = 16.707 (4) {angstrom}, c = 18.398 (4) {angstrom}, V = 3904.4 (17) {angstrom}{sup 3}, Z = 8.
