The isolation of sodium cyclopentadienide as a crystalline 1,2-dimethoxyethane adduct has led to an efficient in situ synthesis of the bicyclopentadienyl or fulvalene dianion. This bridging ligand reacts with molybdenum hexacarbonyl to yield the (eta/sup 5/ : eta/sup 5/-fulvalene) hexacarbonyldimolybdenum dianion which was alkylated to yield a dimethyl derivative, oxidized to a metal--metal bonded dimer, and metathesized to a mercury(II)-bridged polymer.
