…organometallic indicates the presence of a metal directly bonded via a M–C bond to an organic fragment, which must in turn have a C–H bond. Like many metal carbonyls, Mo(CO)6 is generally prepared by reductive carbonylation, which involves reduction of a metal halide with under an atmosphere of carbon monoxide. As…
