Abstract

The reaction of the carbido cluster complex (C5Me5)WOs3(μ4-C)(μ-H)(CO)11 (1) with 4-ethynyl toluene is investigated. This reaction results in the formation of an alkylidyne compound (C5Me5)WOs3(μ3-CCHCHTol)(CO)11 (2) with a trans CH=CHTol substituent. Moreover, the corresponding reaction of 1 with 3-phenyl-1-propyne affords an alkenyl carbido cluster (C5Me5)WOs3(μ4-C)(CHCHCH2Ph)(CO)10 (3) and another alkylidyne compound with formula (C5Me5)WOs3[μ3-CC(CH2Ph)(CH2)](CO)10 (4). The compounds 3 and 4 are characterized spectroscopically in solution and with single crystal X-ray diffraction in the solid state. The possible mechanism leading to their formation is discussed.
