Abstract

Extended-chain complexes containing multiple transition metal centres linked by conjugated µ-cyanodiazenido(1−) ligands [N [double bond, length as m-dash] N–C [triple bond, length as m-dash] N]⁻ have been obtained by reaction of trans-[BrW(dppe)₂(N₂CN)], 1, [dppe = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane] with dirhodium(II) tetra-acetate, bis(benzonitrile)palladium(II) dichloride, and bis(aqua)M(II) bis(hexafluoroacetylacetonate) (M = Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn): stronger Lewis acids such as tetrakis(acetonitrile)palladium(II) tetrafluoroborate and boron trifluoride promote hydrolysis of complex 1, leading to the isolation of a novel carbamoylhydrazido(2−) complex, trans-[BrW(dppe)₂(N₂HC [double bond, length as m-dash] ONH₂)]⁺[BF₄]⁻.
