Coordination-induced bond weakening of multiple C-H bonds in a molybdenum methyl complex leading to a bridging ethylenediyl by C-C bond formation through bimolecular coupling of a terminal methylidyne

Chem. Commun., 2026, Accepted Manuscript DOI: 10.1039/D6CC02936A, Communication Hannah Dokken, Thayalan Rajeshkumar, C. Christopher Almquist, Wen Zhou, Caecilia Maichle-Moessmer, Alexander Harrison, Reiner Anwander, Laurent Maron, Warren Piers Activation of C-H bonds in a molybdenum methyl complex by coordination-induced bond weakening was demonstrated by abstracting three hydrogen atoms with an aryl oxyl reagent. The final product is a...
