Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Five plus H₂ gives four</bold>: UV irradiation of a bis(amidinate) complex with a [(H)MoMo(H)] core induces reductive elimination of H₂ and formation of a known quintuply bonded MoMo species (see scheme) that reacts back with H₂ to restore [(H)MoMo(H)]. UV irradiation of the bis(hydride) species in benzene and toluene gives arene complexes in which the aromatic hydrocarbon bridges the molybdenum atoms. Dipp=2, 6‐diisopropylphenyl.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg1v8wsvn9" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
