Abstract

The reaction of the dinuclear organometallic complexes [CpRu(CO)2]2, [CpMo(CO)3]2 and [Cp(OC)2RuMo(CO)3Cp] with diphenyl dichalcogenides proceeded under visible light irradiation, via photocleavage of the metal-metal bond. Measurements of the reaction rates point to a preference of the organoruthenium radical for sulfur, and the organomolybdenum radical for selenium.
