Abstract
The synthesis of the d(2) arene complexes [W(NPh)(eta(6)-arene)(o-(Me3SiN)( 2)C6H4)] (arene = C6H5Et (3), C6H5Pr (4)) by the room-temperature hydrogeno lysis of the dialkyl complexes [W(NPh)(o-(Me3SiN)(2)C6H4) (R)(2)] (R = CH2C H2Ph (1), CH2CH2CH2Ph (2)) is described. The ethylbenzene complex 3 reacts with diphenylacetylene, giving the metallacyclopent-3-ene complex 5.
