Reactivity studies of cyclopentadienyl complexes of group 6 metals with arylsulfides, organo P-S and P-Se heterocycles and arylthiolate phosphine ligands.

The reactivity of [CpM(CO)3]2 (M = Cr (1), Mo (3)) together with their congeners, [CpM(CO)2]2 (M = Cr (2), Mo (4)) towards alkyl sulfides such as bibenzyl di- and trisulfide, organophosphorus chalcogen heterocycles such as 2,4-bis(ptolylthio) 1,3-dithia-2,4-diphosphetane-2,4-disulfide (Davy’s reagen
