Unprecedented metal template effect on the coupling of dithiafulvene moieties.
Coordination of two dithiafulvenyldiphenylphosphines on a Mo(CO)(4) fragment allows a carbon-carbon bond formation upon oxidation, leading to a novel type of metallacycle substituted by a redox active vinylogous tetrathiafulvalene.
