Abstract
The reaction of bis[cyclopentadienyltricarbonylmolybdenum(I)] with dibenzyl trisulfide affords the dinuclear title compound, [MoII2(C5H5)2(C7H7S)2(CO)4], as one of the products. The two benzylthiolate anions function as bridges to the Mo atoms. The geometry of the Mo atom is described as pseudo-pentagonal bipyramidal if the cyclopentadienyl ring is assumed to occupy three sites.
