Abstract
The successive reactions of [Mo(≡CBr)(CO)2(Tp*)] (Tp* = hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)borate) with nBuLi and ClAPh3 (A = Ge, Sn, Pb) afford the carbyne complexes [Mo(≡CAPh3)(CO)2(Tp*)] but fail in the case of ClCPh3 and ClSiPh3. The silicon analogue [Mo(≡CSiPh3)(CO)2(Tp*)] may, however, be obtained via a multistep Fischer-Mayr synthesis. [Mo(≡CPbPh 3)(CO)2(Tp*)] is the first example of a plumbyl alkylidyne complex.
