Abstract
Reaction of [W(CPh)Cl(CO)(PMe3)3] (1), with NaNC4H4, NaNC8H6, NaOC6H5 and NaSR (R = CMe3, C6H11) in THF affords the alkylidyne tungsten complexes [W(CPh)X(CO) (PMe3)3] (2a-e), containing pyrrolide, indolide, phenoxide and alkylsulfide ligands, X, respectively. The π donor ligands X occupy the coordination site trans to the alkylidyne ligand. The anionic complexes [NEt4][W(CPh)X2(CO)(PMe3)2] ((3a) X = NC4H4), ((3b) X = NC8H6), form upon reaction of 1 with 2 equiv. of NaNC4H4 and NaNC8H6 in THF, followed by metathesis with NEt4Cl in CH2Cl2. Reaction of 1 with the sodium salt of pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde methylimine affords [W(CPh)(NC4H3-CHNMe-2)(CO)(PMe3)2] (4). The solid state structures of complexes 2a and 2e were determined by X-ray crystallography. Complex 2d reacts in THF solution with carbon monoxide to afford cis-[W(CPh)(SCMe3)(CO)2(PMe3)2] (6). In contrast, the analogous bromo complex [W(CPh)Br(CO)(PMe3)3] (7) gives under the same conditions an equilibrium mixture of 7 and trans-[W(CPh)Br(CO)2(PMe3)2].
