Je. Davies et al., Formation of carbene and cyclopentadienyl ligands from phenylacetylene viaoligomerisation and C C bond scission at a mixed-metal W-Co centre, CHEM COMMUN, (14), 2000, pp. 1313-1314
The 1,2,4-triphenylcyclopentadienyl ligand and the CHR carbene ligand, boun
d respectively to the Co and W atoms in [(eta(5)-C5H5)W{mu-(CBuCC)-C-t(CO2M
e)=C(CO2Me)CH}(mu-PPh2)Co(eta(5)-C5Ph3H2)], are derived from the oligomeris
ation and cleavage of three molecules of phenylacetylene in the reaction of
[(OC)(eta(5)-C5H5)W{mu-C(CO2Me)CC(C=C- Bu-t)(OMe)O}(mu-PPh2)Co(CO)(2)] wit
h this acetylene.
