    Seven bipyridine adducts of molybdenum imido alkylidene bispyrrolide complexes of the type Mo­(NR)­(CHCMe<sub>2</sub>R′)­(Pyr)<sub>2</sub>(bipy) (<b>1a</b>–<b>1g</b>; R = 2,6-<i>i</i>-Pr<sub>2</sub>C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>3</sub> (Ar), adamantyl (Ad), 2,6-Me<sub>2</sub>C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>3</sub> (Ar′), 2-<i>i</i>-PrC<sub>6</sub>H<sub>4</sub> (Ar<sup><i>i</i>Pr</sup>), 2-ClC<sub>6</sub>H<sub>4</sub> (Ar<sup>Cl</sup>), 2-<i>t</i>-BuC<sub>6</sub>H<sub>4</sub> (Ar<sup><i>t</i>Bu</sup>), and 2-MesitylC<sub>6</sub>H<sub>4</sub> (Ar<sup>M</sup>), respectively; R′ = Me, Ph) have been prepared using three different methods.
