Abstract
Fluoride-mediated desilylation of the propargylidyne [W(≡CC≡CSiMe3)(CO)2{HB(Pz)3}] (1; pz = pyrazol-1-yl) in the presence of [RhCl(CO)(PPh3)2] provides the bimetallic complex [Rh(C≡C≡W(CO) 2{HB-(pz)3})(CO)(PPh3)2] (2b), which reacts with iodine to give [Rh(C≡CC≡W(CO) 2{HB(pz)3})I2(CO)(PPh3) 2] (3) and with [Fe2(CO)9] to provide [RhFe2(μ-C3W(CO)2{HB(pz) 3})-(CO)10(PPh3)] (4), a rare example of a tricarbido ligand incorporated within a cluster framework.
