Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of the terminal methoxycarbyne complex Tp′(CO) 2WCOMe is described. Nucleophiles attack Tp′(CO) 2WCOMe at the methyl group of the methoxide substituent. The carbyne complex undergoes reversible protonation at the carbyne carbon in the presence of [H(Et 2O) 2][BAr′ 4] to generate the α-agostic carbene complex [Tp′(CO) 2WC(H)OMe][BAr′ 4].
