Four-Coordinate Titanium Alkylidene Complexes: Synthesis, Reactivity, and Kinetic Studies Involving the Terminal Neopentylidene Functionality.

Synthesis and reactivity of molybdenum imido alkylidene bis-pyrazolide complexes.

Reaction of Li(3,5-R(2)-pyrazolide) (R = tBu or Ph, dXpz) with Mo(NAr)(CHCMe(2)Ph)(OTf)(2)(DME) yields Mo(NAr)(CHCMe(2)Ph)(dXpz)(2) in good yield. These complexes react with alcohols or the surface silanols of silica, to yield bis-alkoxy and surface mono-siloxy alkene metathesis catalysts, respectively.

14-Electron Four-Coordinate Ru(II) Carbyl Complexes and Their Five-Coordinate Precursors: Synthesis, Double Agostic Interactions, and Reactivity

The structure of five-coordinate Ru(II) complexes RuHCl(CO)(PPr3)2, 1, RuCl2(CO)(PPr3)2, 2, and Ru(Ph)Cl(CO)(PBu2Me)2, 12, are reported. All three of these complexes have square-based pyramid geometry with the strongest σ-donor ligand trans to the vacant site. These 16-electron complexes do not show bona fide agostic interactions. This is attributed to the strong trans influence ligand (H, CO, ...

Synthesis of Ru alkylidene complexes

The present work describes the robust synthesis of Ru alkylidene complexes (PCy(3))(2)Cl(2)Ru=CHR - precursors for metathesis catalysts. Moreover, the dynamic behavior of complexes where R = 2-naphthyl and 2-thienyl was studied. (1)H NMR techniques were employed to establish the preferred conformations in solution for both complexes and the energy barrier for rotation around single (Ru=)CH-C(th...

Cationic and neutral four-coordinate alkylidene complexes of vanadium(IV) containing short V=C bonds.

Synthesis and reactivity of cyclopentadienyl chloro, imido and alkylidene tungsten (VI) complexes

This paper describes the synthesis and characterization of alkylidene pentamethylcyclopentadienyl imido tungsten(VI) complexes via a-hydrogen abstraction processes from suitable alkyl derivatives. Reaction of WCp*Cl4 with one equivalent of NH2R (R= Bu, 2,6-Me2–C6H3), two equivalents of NEt3 and subsequent oxidation with PCl5 affords the pentamethylcyclopentadienyl imido tungsten derivatives, WC...
