Abstract

Oxidation of Cp2MoSx, where x = 2, 4, with m-chloroperbenzoic acid gave Cp2MoS2O and Cp2MoS4O, respectively. In Cp2MoS4O the oxygen is attached to the 2-sulfur atom of the S4 ligand; however, an intermediate was isolated and identified as the 1-oxo isomer. It thermally rearranges via first-order kinetics with rate dependence on solvent polarity to give the final 2-oxo product.
