Abstract
The reactions of [W(CBr)(CO)2(Tp∗)] (Tp∗ = hydrotris(dimethylpyrazolyl)borate) with a range of terminal alkynes (RCCH), mediated by [Pd(PPh3)4] and CuI, afford new proparylidynes [W(C-CCR)(CO)2(Tp∗)] [R = tBu, C6H4X (X = H, NH2, NO2), ferrocenyl, APh3 (A = C, Si, Ge), B(O2CCH2)2NMe]. Similar treatment of [W(CBr)(CO)2(Tp∗)] with Ph2Si(CCH)2 affords the ditungstaoctatetrayne [W2(μ-C6)(CO)4(Tp∗)2] while the bimetallic complex [W2{μ-(CCC)2SiPh2}(CO)4(Tp∗)2], which is obtained from [W(CBr)(CO)2(Tp∗)] and Ph2Si(CCSnPh3)2, reacts with [AuCl(THT)] (THT = tetrahydrothiophene) to provide the tetrametallic complex [W2Au2{μ-(CCC)2SiPh2}Cl2(CO)4(Tp∗)2].
