WCl(η2-C2Ph2)(η6-C6Ph6H): A Compound Containing a Metallacycloheptatriene Unit from Trimerization of Diphenylacetylene with W(NMe3)(η2-C2Ph2)3
摘要:
W(NCMe)(eta(2)-C2Ph2)(3) (1) has been previously synthesized by the reaction of W(CO)(eta(2)-C2Ph2)3 Wit Me3NO in acetonitrile, while the same treatment in THF leads to the trimethylamine complex W(NMe3)(eta(2)-C2Ph2)(3) (2). Compound 2 is reactive. Stirring a mixture of 2 and diphenylacetylene in dichloromethane at room temperature affords WCl(eta(2)-C2Ph2)(eta(6)-C6Ph6H) (3), which apparently arises from trimerization of the alkyne ligands concomitant with solvent activation. The structures of 1-3 have been determined by an X-ray diffraction study. A carbene W=C double bond is evidenced in 3.
