Abstract
The syntheses of the alkylidyne complexes [W(≡CR)(CO)2{HB(mt)3}] (R = NiPr2 1a, C4H3S-2 1b, C≡CCMe3 1c, C6H4Me-4 1d, C6H3Me2-2,6 1e, C5H4Mn(CO)3 1f; mt = 2-mercapto-3-methylimidazolyl) are reported. The crystal structures of three examples (1a, 1b, and 1c) reveal a progressive distortion of the alkylidyne ligand from octahedral coordination at tungsten, and in addition have a chiral C3-symmetric conformation for the B(mt)3W cage, which is also implicit from solution NMR data. A set of parameters is suggested for describing the geometry of HB(mt)3M cages.
