The deprotonation of the molybdenum allyl or methallyl complexes affords the bimetallic complexes [cis-{Mo(eta(3)-allyl)(CO)(2)(mu(2)-pypz)}](2) or [cis-{Mo(eta(3)-methallyl)(CO)(2)(mu(2)-pypz)}](2) (mu(2)-pypz = mu(2)-3-(2-pyridyl-kappa N-1) pyrazolate-2 kappa N-1). The allyl complex was subjected to an electrochemical study, which shows a marked connection between both metallic centres through the bridging pyridylpyrazolates.engPyrazole-Derived LigandsMetal-metal InteractionsSpectroscopic PropertiesCrystal-StructureCoordination ChemistryDynamic-BehaviorHydrogen-BondSolid-StateTetranuclearTransitionjournal article10.1039/c2dt12388f
