U. Winkler et al., ATOM ADDITION AND INSERTION REACTIONS OF (MECP)(2)TA(H)CO WITH SULFUR, TELLURIUM, CARBONYL SULFIDE AND CARBON-DISULFIDE, INORGANIC CHEMISTRY COMMUNICATIONS, 1(8), 1998, pp. 317-319
The reaction of (MeCp)(2)Ta(H)CO (Ib) with S-8 produces (MeCp)(2)Ta(SH
)CO (2) and one or more transient eta(2)-COS complexes. Tellurium reac
ts with Ib to afford unstable (MeCp)(2)Ta(TeH) CO (4) and putative (Me
Cp)(2)Ta(TeH) (eta(2)-COTe) (5). Photoreaction of 1b with COS produces
(MeCp)(2)Ta(mu(2)-S) (mu(2)-S)Ta(MeCp)(2) (6) which has been characte
rized by X-ray diffraction. The reaction of Ib with cs, gives (MeCp)(2
)Ta(CO)(eta(1)-S2CH) (8). (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science S.A.
