Access to the [Me{sub 2}Si] ansa-bridged permethylmolybdenocene system is provided by the synthesis of [Me{sub 2}Si(C{sub 5}Me{sub 4}){sub 2}]MoCl{sub 2} from the reaction of MoCl{sub 5} with a mixture of [Me{sub 2}Si(C{sub 5}Me{sub 4}){sub 2}]Li{sub 2} and NaBH{sub 4}, followed by treatment with CHCl{sub 3}. Comparison with the chemistry of the non-ansa Cp{sup *}{sub 2}MoX{sub 2} system indicates that incorporation of the [Me{sub 2}Si] ansa bridge promotes intermolecular C-H and C-C bond activation reactions.
