A tung(sten) twister : Heating 1 in chlorobenzene affords 2, 3 , C 6 Ph 6 , and C 60 , and involves CH bond activation and CC bond formation of the ligands, as well as chlorine atom abstraction from the solvent. C 6 Ph 6 is presumably generated from insertion of the benzylidyne ligand into the C 5 Ph 5 ring. Compound 3 is an air‐stable, 17‐electron species, with the phenyldichloromethyl ligand having a unique η 3 ‐allyl‐type bonding motif.
