Abstract: The xylene solution of 1,2-bis(tetramethylcyclopentadienyl)ferrocene, 1,1'-Fc(Me4Cp)2(Ⅰ) and Fe(CO)5 was refluxed for 10 h to yield ferrocene bridged bis(tetramethylcyclopentadienyl) tetracarbonyl, 1,1'-Fc[(Me4Cp)Fe(CO)2]2(1). Futher reaction of compound 1 with I2 in chloroform to yield Fe_Fe bond cleaved product, 1,1'-Fc[(Me4Cp)Fe(CO)2I]2(2). compound Ⅰ reacted sequentially with n BuLi and Mo(MeCN)3(CO)3 to generate 1,1'-Fcbis[tetramethylcyclopentadienyltricarbonyl molybdenum anion salt], 1,1'-Fc(Me4Cp)Mo(CO)3-Li+]2(Ⅱ). Futher reaction of compound Ⅱ with MeIyielded the corresponding methylmolybdenum complex, 1,1'-Fc[(Me4Cp)Mo(CO)3Me]2(3). The reaction of compound Ⅱ with BrCH2CH2Br did not gave the expected Mo_Mo binuclear compound, instead a small quantity of ferrocene bridged bis(molybdenum bromide) compound, 1,1'-Fc[(Me4CpMo-(CO)3Br]2(4), which was isolated by nucleophilic substitution and elimination mechanism. The molecular structures of compounds 1_4 were characterized by elemental analyses, IRand 1H NMRspectra. The crystal structure of compound 1 was determined by X-ray diffraction.
