Photolysis of hexacarbonyl-chromium(0), -molybdenum(0), and -tungsten(
0) in presence of fumaronitrile yields at room temperature pentacarbon
yl-fumaronitrile-chromium(0) (1): molybdenum(0) (2), and -tungsten(0)
(3). The complexes were purified by crystallization and characterized
by IR and C-13-NMR spectroscopy. The fumaronitrile ligand is bonded to
the M(CO)(5) moiety by one nitrile nitrogen atom rather than by the c
arbon-carbon double bond. In toluene 2 dissociates into fumaronitrile
and pentacarbonyl-molybdenum(0), which is stabilized by the solvent. F
umaronitrile and solvated pentacarbonyl-molybdenum(0) exist in solutio
n together with 2 in an equilibrium which lies in favour of the former
species.
