Abstract

The heterometallic oxo–acetylide complex Cp*Re(O)(µ-C2Ph)W(CO)2Cp (1), possessing an oxo ligand bound to the Re atom, was prepared by treatment of [Cp*Re(O)(µ-O)]2 with the acetylide complex CpW(CO)3(CCPh) in refluxing toluene. Further thermolysis of 1 afforded the isomeric complex Cp*Re(CO)2(µ-C2Ph)W(O)Cp (2), showing an intermetal transfer of oxygen atom from Re to W atoms.
