Abstract

Activation of C-H bonds in a molybdenum methyl complex by coordination-induced bond weakening was demonstrated by abstracting three hydrogen atoms with an aryl oxyl reagent. The final product is a MoCCMo complex arising from coupling of a molybdenum methylidyne intermediate and subsequent removal of the final hydrogen atom equivalent.
