The unique property of nMoO3/Bi2O3 phases to act as catalysts for the allylic oxidation of propene remains a subject of intense discussion, that stimulates research with respect to the element combination Mo/Bi on the molecular level. Among the known compounds containing these two metals one class exhibits direct Mo Bi metal bonds, and, bearing in mind the oxygenating properties of bismuthmolybdate phases, it seems interesting to investigate the behavior of such linkages on exposure to oxidants. Such a study, however, is only possible, if the residual complex is not affected by the oxidizing-agent employed, and until recently all known compounds with Mo Bi units (e.g. [ClBi{Mo(CO)3Cp}2] and [Mo2(CO)4( Cp)2(m-h -Bi2)] [4] (Cp=C5H5, Cp= C5H4Me) as well as certain others ) contained ligands that are not inert under oxidizing conditions. We have recently found a synthetic route leading to compounds with both Mo and Bi centers in oxidatively robust coordination spheres and with the Mo centers in comparatively high oxidation states: For instance treatment of [Cp2MoH2] with [{Bi{OCH(CF3)2}3(thf)}2] provided [Cp2Mo(Bi{OCH(CF3)2}2)2] (1), which functions as an effective epoxidation precatalyst. Herein we describe the investigation of the system [Cp2MoH2]/Bi(OtBu)3 that revealed a remarkable C H activation process. The reaction between [Cp2MoH2] and Bi(OtBu)3 in a 1:2 ratio (Scheme 1) yields [Cp2Mo{Bi(OtBu)2}2] (2), the replacement of the electron-poor hexafluoroisopropyl residues employed in the synthesis of 1 by the electron-rich tertbutyl residues does not alter the outcome of the reaction. The molecular structure of 2 is depicted in Figure 1. While the Bi–Bi separation of 3.487 9 is too long to be interpreted in terms of a Bi Bi bond, the Bi-Mo-Bi angle of 75.278 is even smaller than the H-Mo-H angle in [Cp2MoH2] (75.58) [8] which means that there are no significant repulsive forces between the two Bi(OR)2 moieties bound to the Mo center. Unlike the
