Abstract
Bis(eta (6)-arene)molybdenum complexes with alkyl substituents are readily synthesized by metathesis of the arene ligands of bis(eta (6)-benzene)molyb denum, thereby circumventing a fundamental limitation of the conventional F ischer-Hafner syntheses (Friedel-Crafts conditions) and obviating the need to employ metal-vapor synthetic methods to prepare such compounds.
