A theoretical study of the C_{2v} symmetry-concerted reaction is presented for the addition of ethylene and molybdenum dimer. The potential curves corresponding to different self-consistent field closed shell configurations are studied. A comparison of ethylene dimerization and ethylene-Mo_{2} formation reactions indicates close similarities and applicability of the Woodward-Hoffmann model, developed originally for olefins, to organometallics.
