The reaction of the complexes [(TMS)(2)pda]W(=NPh)(R)(2), (R = CH2CMe3, CH2
CH3) ([TMS)(2)pda] = {o-[Me3SiN](2)C6K4}(2-)) with dihydrogen in the presen
ce of trialkyl phosphines results in the formation of a series of W(VI) hyd
ride complexes of the general formula [(TMS)(2)pda]W(=NPh)(H)(2)(PR3)(2) (P
R3 = PMe3, PMe2Ph, 1/2Ph(2)PCH(2)CH(2)PPh(2), 1/2P(C6H11)(3)). The reaction
s of these complexes with olefins are also described. (C) 1999 Elsevier Sci
