    Abstract

    The reaction of [W(CCCSiMe3)(CO)2(Tp∗)] (Tp∗ = hydrotris(dimethylpyrazolyl)borate) with MeLi generates the first example of an anionic allenylidene complex Li[W(CCCMeSiMe3)(CO)2(Tp∗)] which reacts with electrophiles (H+, Me+) at the β-carbon to afford vinylcarbyne (allylidyne) complexes [W(CCECMeSiMe3)(CO)2(Tp∗)] (E = H, Me), and with bromine provides the unprecedented binuclear bis(carbyne) complex {C(CMeSiMe3)CW(CO)2(Tp∗)}2via oxidative C-C coupling at the β-carbon.
