The 2,5‐dimethylthiophene (2,5‐Me 2 T) ligand in the isomers Cp*Ir(η 4 ‐2,5‐Me 2 T) (1) and Cp*Ir( C,S ‐2,5‐Me 2 T) (2) is activated to react with the dimers Cp(CO) 2 MM(CO) 2 Cp[MMo (3), W (4)] to give complexes (5,6) in which the thiophene is coordinated to three metals. Oxidation of 5 with Cp 2 Fe + removesthe Mo dimer to give Cp*Ir(η 5 ‐2,5‐Me 2 T) 2+ . Reaction of 5 with CO displaces the Mo as [CpMo(CO) 3 ] 2 to give Cp*Ir(CO)( C,S ‐2,5‐Me 2 T) (7). Ultraviolet photolysis of 1 provides a convenient route to the ring‐opened isomer 2. Despite the remarkable nature of the thiophene coordination in 5 and 6, its reactivity does not suggest new pathways that would lead to the hydrodesulfurization of thiophenes.
