Abstract
With the simplest of anionic Fischer-type carbene complexes acting as ligands, Cp(2)Zr(Cl){OCMe}M(CO)(5) compounds (M = Cr or W) promote alpha-olefin oligomerization and polymerization in the presence of MAO. Attaching an N-heterocyclic ring to the carbene carbon atom in similar precursors, allows a variety of hard metal ions and fragments to be captured by external bidentate coordination. The outcome of the attachment of a phosphorus or sulfur functionality to an alpha-carbon of an O-anionic carbene is formation of a bidentate ligand and then internal four-membered carbene-heteroatom chelate formation. alpha-Deprotonated carbene complexes are also precursors for remote, one-N, six-membered carbene complexes of various metals whereas alpha-C-, alpha-N- or alpha-O-deprotonated as well as beta-deprotonated Fischer-type carbene complexes display unique synthon properties towards Ph(3)PAu(+) and partake in unusual ensuing coordination of liberated group 6 metal carbonyl moieties to form dinuclear products.
