Treatment of [WH4(κ4-P4)] (3: P4 = meso-o-C6H4(PPhCH2CH2PPh2)2) with aryl isothiocyanate ArNCS at 50 °C afforded the dithiocarbonimidate-isocyanide complex [W(κ2-S2CNAr)(CNAr)(κ4-P4)] (4) in moderate yields. The reaction also produced ArNHCH3 and a small amount of ArNH2. The yield of the hydrodesulfurization product ArNHCH3 increased when the reaction was conducted under H2 (up to 0.65 equiv. to 3 for Ar = p-MeC6H4 (Tol)). Complex 4 was proposed to be formed via reductive disproportionation of two ArNCS molecules on a zero-valent W species generated by dissociation of H2 from 3. The reaction of W(0) complex [W(dppe)(κ4-P4)] (dppe = Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2) with ArNCS also yielded 4 accompanied by free dppe, in contrast to that of [Mo(dppe)(κ4-P4)], which had been previously reported to undergo sulfur-atom transfer to phosphine ligands. The dithiocarbonimidate ligands in 4a (Ar = Tol) received the addition of electrophiles [PhMe2NH][BF4], MeI, and PhCOCl selectively at the N atom to afford the cationic dithiocarbamate complexes [W(κ2-S2CNHTol)(CNTol)(κ4-P4)][BF4] (6), [Wκ2-S2CN(Me)Tol}(CNTol)(κ4-P4)]I (7), and [Wκ2-S2CN(COPh)Tol}(CNTol)(κ4-P4)]Cl (8). Complexes 4a, 6, 7, and 8 have been characterized by spectroscopic and crystallographic methods, and the donor strengths of their κ2-dithio ligands are discussed.
