Abstract
{ [N 3N]Mo-N=N} 2Mg(THF)2, isolated from the reduction of [N3N]MoCl by magnesium powder under dinitrogen, serves as an entry into the dinitrogen chemistry of molybdenum complexes containing the TMS-TREN ligand. ... Five coordinate tungsten oxo alkylidene complexes of the general type (ArO)2W(O)(CHtBu)(PR 3 ) (Ar = 2,6-Ph2C6H3 ) are synthesized by reaction of Ta(CHtBu)(PR 3)2X3 (X = Cl, Br) with W(O)(OtBu) 4. 1H NMR spectroscopy reveals that only the syn rotamer is present in solution and PPh2Me is labile on the NMR time scale.
