Aromatic tertiary phosphine ligands having ortho-methoxy substituents react
ed with Group 6 metal carbonyls to form complexes with monodentate bonding
through the phosphorus atom. One tungsten hexacarbonyl derivative with two
P-bonded phosphine ligands was also formed. The complexes were characterize
d by X-ray crystallography, H-1, C-13{H-1} and P-31{H-1} NMR spectroscopy,
IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The steric properties of the ligand
s were studied by molecular modelling methods. Metal-phosphorus bond distan
ces correlate with cone angles of the phosphines. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science
