The arene rings of W(η-C6H5Me)2 and Mo(η-C6H6)2 are readily displaced by the fulvenes C5H4=CR2 (R=Me or Ph) giving M(η5:η1-C5H4-μ-CR2)(η-arene), M=Mo or W; when M=Mo and R=Me then treatment with HCl gives the binuclear iC5H4)(μ-Cl2)>2 whose crystal structure has been determined and which is a convenient precursor to mono-cyclopentadienylmolybdenum derivatives.
