The first report of the reaction of Davy's reagent with [CpMo(CO)(n)](2) (n=2,3) via a phosphorus-sulfur bond cleavage process. Isolation and characterization of CpMo(CO)(2)(S2P(SPhMe)(2)), Cp2Mo2(CO)(5)(S2P(SPhMe)) and Cp2Mo2(mu-S)(mu-S-2)(mu-SPhMe) (Cp = (eta(5)-C5H5))

The reaction of [CpMo(CO)(3)](2) (1) and its congener, the triply bonded [CpMo(CO)(2)](2) (2) with 2,4-bis(p-tolylthio) 1,3-dithia-2,4-diphosphetane-2,4-disulfide (DR, Davy's reagent) in toluene at 110 and 70 degrees, respectively, led to the isolation of dark brown solids of CpMo(CO)(2)(S2P(SP...
