Halogen atom transfer from CpMo(CO)(3)X(X = Cl, Pr and I) to CpW(CO)(3
)(-) forming CpMo(CO)(3)(-) and CpW(CO),X occurs with a first-order de
pendence on the oxidant and the reductant. The rate constants show a v
ery small dependence on the identity of X, suggesting a mechanism invo
lving nucleophilic attack by CpW(CO)(3)(-) on a carbonyl of CpMo(CO)(3
)X.
