In the reactions of double-bridged biscyclopentadienes (EMe2)(SnMe2)(RC5H3)2 (E = C (1), E = Si (2 or 4), E = Ge (3)), or single-bridged biscyclopentadiene (SnMe2)(tBuC5H4)2 (5) with Mo(CO)6 in refluxing xylene, the bridging SnMe2 group migrates from the ligand to the molybdenum atoms to give compounds (6-10) containing the Mo-Sn-Mo units; the bridging group EMe2 (E = C or Si in 1, 2, or 4) does not migrate. It is noteworthy that [(畏5-C5H5)Mo(CO)3]2SnMe2 (8) obtained from the reaction of (GeMe2)(SnMe2)(C5H4)2 (3) with Mo(CO)6 is a degermylated and SnMe2 group migrated product, another outcome worth mentioning is that the complex 9 is afforded only in the rac-configuration. The stability of complexes (6, 7, and 10) containing the Mo-Sn-Mo unit toward heat and light was also studied. The molecular structures of 6, 9, and 10 were determined by X-ray diffraction.
