The title compound is a 17e organometallic radical, which ordinarily recombines to the dimer in many solvents, including acetonitrile. In the presence of 1,4-(Me[sub 2]N)[sub 2]C[sub 6]H[sub 4] (TMPD), however, the radical disproportionates to ([eta][sup 5]-C[sub 5]H[sub 5])Mo(CO)[sub 3[sup [minus]]] and ([eta][sup 5]-C[sub 5]H[sub 5])Mo(CO)[sub 3]-NCCH[sub 3[sup +]]. The mechanism involves the radical oxidizing TMPD and reducing TMPD[sup [sm bullet]+], whose buildup and decay were directly monitored. 11 refs., 2 figs.
