    Abstract

    The reaction of alkynylselenolatoalkylidynes [W(CSeCCR)(CO)2(Tp∗)] (R = SiMe3, SiiPr3, Ph, p-tolyl, tBu, CPh3, SiPh3, GePh3; Tp∗ = hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)borate) with [AuCl(L)] (L = tetrahydrothiophene, SMe2) readily furnishes heterobimetallic complexes [WAu(μ-CSeCCR)Cl(CO)2(Tp∗)] where gold(i) chloride coordinates to the tungsten-carbon multiple bond. Alternatively, desilylation of the SiMe3 complex [W(CSeCCSiMe3)(CO)2(Tp∗)] in the presence of gold phosphine complexes [AuCl(PR′3)] (R′ = Ph or Cy) furnishes the gold alkynyl derivatives, [W(CSeCCAuPR′3)(CO)2(Tp∗)].
