Abstract
Reactions of zero valent tungsten complexes with AlCp∗ and GaCp∗ (Cp∗ = pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) are presented. The treatment of [W(C2H4)2(PMe3)4] with 2 equiv of GaCp∗ or AlCp∗ leads to the formation of cis-[W(GaCp∗)2(PMe3)4] (1) or trans,cis,cis-[W(AlCp∗)2(C2H4)2(PMe3)2] (2) under cleavage of ethylene or PMe3 ligands, respectively. Treatment of either [W(C2H4)2(PMe3)4] or 2 with 4 or 6 equiv of AlCp∗ leads to the C–H activated species of over-all composition [W(AlCp∗)6(C2H4)2] (3), which features terminal W–H as well as bridging W–H–Al hydride ligands and C–H activated C2H4 resulting in Al–C bonds. All new compounds are characterized by solution NMR, IR, elemental analyses (EA), liquid injection field desorption ionization mass spectrometry (LIFDI-MS) as well as single crystal x-ray crystallography.
