Abstract
The reactions of the trimethylsilylpropargylidyne [W(CCCSiMe3)(CO)2(Tp∗)] (1: Tp∗ = hydrotris(dimethylpyrazolyl)borate) towards selenium centred reagents when treated with tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF) were explored in order to prepare alkynylselenolato propargylidynes, e.g., [W(CCCSePh)(CO)2(Tp∗)]. Treating 1 with TBAF and PhSeSePh resulted in E and Z isomers of the vinylcarbyne (allylidyne) complex [W{CC(SePh)CHSePh}(CO)2(Tp∗)] in addition to traces of the trisubstituted derivative [W{CC(SePh)C(SePh)2}(CO)2(Tp∗)]. Reactions with PhSeCl resulted in the isolation of bimetallic bis-substituted allylidyne complex [(Tp∗)(CO)2WCC(SePh)C(SePh)CCCW(CO)2(CO)2(Tp∗)] as well as the desired selenolatopropargylidyne [W(CCCSePh)(CO)2(Tp∗)].
