Thermodynamic and kinetic studies of H atom transfer from HMo(CO) 3(η5-C5H5) to Mo(N[t-Bu]Ar) 3 and (PhCN)Mo(N[t-Bu]Ar)3: Direct insertion of benzonitrile into the Mo-H bond of HMo(N[t-Bu]A

Synthetic studies are reported that show that the reaction of either H ₂SnR₂ (R = Ph, n-Bu) or HMo(CO)₃(Cp) (1-H, Cp = η⁵-C₅H₅) with Mo(N[t-Bu]Ar)₃ (2, Ar = 3,5-C₆H
