Abstract

Efficient procedures for the synthesis of the tungsten carbyne complexes [(W≡CR)CI(CO)(PMe3)3] (2, R = C6H5,C6H4CH3-4) and [(M≡CPh)Br(PMe3)4] (3, M = W. and 5. M = Mo) are described. Reaction of complex 3 with HBr gives the hydrido complex [(W≡CPh)Br2(H)-(PMe3)3]. Reaction of complexes 2 with HCI gives the tungsten alkylidene complexes [(W≡CHR)CI2(CO)-(PMe3)2] (7) that can be deprotonated to give coordinatively labile anionic tungsten carbyne complexes [(W≡CR)CI2(CO(PMe3)2]-. Dehydrochlorination of 7 in the presence of ligands provides substituted tungsten carbyne complexes [(W≡CR)CI(COXPMe3)2L] (L = pyridine, P-(OMe)3, CNCMe3). The crystal structure of the benzylidene complex [(W≡CHPh)CI2(CO)(PMe3)2] is reported.
