Structure and reactivity studies of the first tungsten cyanoalkylidene complex

Abstract

Alkylidene complex W(CHCMe2Ph)(NAr)[OCMe(CF3)2]2 (Ar = 2, 6 diisopropylphenyl) (4) reacts with one equivalent of acrylonitrile in methylene chloride to afford the tetrameric, cyanoalkylidene complex [W(CHCN)(NAr)[OCMe(CF3)2]2]4 (5) which reacts with excess acetonitrile to give the tetrameric complex [W(N(H)C(CH3)C(CN)C(CH3)N)(NAr)[OCMe(CF3)2]2]4 (6).
