    Abstract

    Successive treatment of [Mo(≡CBr)(CO)2{HB(pzMe 2)3}] (pz= pyrazol-1-yl) with "BuLi and mercuric chloride provides the bis(carbido)mercuriaÍ complex Hg[C=Mo(CO) 2{HB(pzMe2)3}]2, which is catalytically demercurated by [RhCl(CO)(PPh3)J to provide the bis-carbyne (ethanediylidyne) compound (μ-C2)[Mo(CO) 2{HB(pzMe2)3}]2.
