Abstract

The d(1) tungsten-alkylidyne radical [W(CPh)(dppe)2Cl](+) reacts with H2 to give the d(0) hydride [W(CPh)(H)(dppe)2Cl](+), which on deprotonation yields the d(2) photoredox chromophore W(CPh)(dppe)2Cl. This family of reactions results in a cycle by which renewable H2 provides the reducing equivalents for photochemical reductions.
