Jf. Capon et al., REACTION OF SODIUM AMALGAM WITH CARBENIUM IONS SPECIES STABILIZED BY 2 ADJACENT ORGANOMETALLIC MOIETIES, Journal of organometallic chemistry, 508(1-2), 1996, pp. 1-6
The ionic complexes Mo(2)(CO)(4){mu-eta(2):eta(3)-HC=C-C(H)(Fc)}][BF4]
(1) and CO)(4)(mu-eta(2):eta(3)-HC=C-C(H)}(2)Fc][{BF4}(2)] (5) react
with Na-Hg in toluene solution. The results are interpreted in terms o
f a radical mechanism involving intramolecular and intermolecular coup
ling reactions.
