As 3 makes the connection : [Cp*Mo(CO) 2 (η 3 ‐As 3 )] reacts with Ag[Al{OC(CF 3 ) 3 } 4 ] to yield a novel dimeric complex featuring the cyclo ‐As 3 ligand in an unusual face‐bridging coordination mode. Analytical data and DFT calculations support the existence of a monomer–dimer equilibrium in solution (see scheme). [Cp*Mo(CO) 2 (η 3 ‐As 3 )] also reacts with CuX (X=Cl, Br, I) to yield insoluble dimers consisting of planar Cu 2 X 2 moieties.
