Abstract

ABSTRACT The activation of sp 2 - and sp 3 - C–H bonds by η-cyclopentadienyl tungsten derivatives is described. Evidence is presented for the reversible elimination of alpha-hydrogen from a tungsten-methyl system. Molybdena- and tungstena- cyclobutane derivatives have been synthesised and their photoinduced evolution of olefins has been investigated. Rules are given for predicting the selectivity of nucleophilic addition to 18-electron organotransition metal cations containing polyene ligands.
