    Abstract

    The reaction of [W(≡CC≡CSiMe3)(CO)2(Tp∗)] (Tp∗ = hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)borate) with [nBu4N]F and selenium in the presence of [RuCl(PPh3)2(η-C5H5)] affords a mixture of the tricarbido complex [WRu(μ-CCC)(CO)2(PPh3)2(η-C5H5)(Tp∗)] and the selenoxopropadienylidene (C3Se) complex [WRu(μ-CCCSe)(CO)2(PPh3)2(η-C5H5)(Tp∗)], both of which were structurally characterized. The formation of the bimetallic C3Se complex is consistent with the intermediacy of the salt [nBu4N] [W(≡CC≡CSe)(CO)2(Tp∗)], which could be observed spectroscopically and computationally interrogated, but not yet isolated.
