No evidence for the formation of secondary products was noted nor was there evidence for preferential attack o� the carbonyl group by LiPPh to form a carbene complex. 2 Diphenylvinylphosphinepentacarbonyl tungsten(O) (mp 62-n4 °C) , was prepared for the first time by two differ ent me thods .

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Syntheses of transition met al complexes in which a pot entially bidentate ligand serves as a monodentate are un 1 common. In 1970 Rigo and co-workers synthesized a five coordinate cobalt complex, Co (Ph PcH cH PPh ) (CN) , in which 2 2 2 2 2 2 one of the diphosphines served as a monodentate ligand. The v;as 1 ig .J.r.d' raported in 1972 by 2 Keiter and Shah from the reaction (OC) wc H NH + PPh CH cH PPh 5 6 5 2 2 2 2 2 ) (OC) WPPh CH cH PPh c H NH 5 2 2 2 2 + 6 5 2 The reaction depends upon the thermodynamic instability 0f 3 the aniline complex. A large excess of the diphos ligand was needed for the reaction, however, in order to· obtain the desired product . If equimolar amounts of ligand to aniline complex were employed for the reaction , a mixture of the dimet al lic compl.:x (OC) �JPPh cH CH ?Ph \J(C0) as well as the 5 2 2 ; 2 5 desired monodentate product was obtained, with the format ion of the first being favored. Att empts to directly synthesize (OC) PPh CH CH PPh from W(C0 ) and diphos photolyt ically or 5 ? 2 ? ? 6 thermally were unsuccess �ul because of the formation ot disubstituted products of the type (OC) (diphos )W. 4 1 2 More rece ntly complexes containing potential chelating ligands as mon?dcntates ·have been synthesized by an alternate me thod in which an anionic carbonyl halide 4 is allowed to react with the diphosphine. The disadvantage of this synthesis lies with the instability of the halogenometalpentacarbonyl complex. 5 It has been the .pur pose of this research to find a ne w synthetic route for the production of (OC) WPPh cH cH PPh • The reaction spec ifically investigated 5 2 2 2 2 involves the addition of an alkali me tal phosphide to a tungsten carbonyl complex containing diphenylvi nyl phosphine ) (OC) WPPh HCH PPh S 2f 2 2 Li > Since (OC) WPPh CH = CH had not bee n previously reported in 5 2 2 the literature , the first task was to determine if the affin- ity of the me tal for the lone pair of phosphorus is greater than the affinity of the me tal for the double bond of the olefinic group. The only complexes of PPh CH = CH 2 2 .c f)Leviou::;ly reporl:ed a e tiio:::>e of Ay (I) .i.n which it is found that both the. phosphorus atom and the double bond· coordinate 6 to give 1:1 and 2:1 co�plexes. and 3 The coordination chemistry of a nu mber of other ligands containing both phos phorus and ol�finic groups has been 7 8 reported.· ' Some examples of these complexes are shown below: Cu CH If It should be noted that in all reported examples , phosphorus is coordinated to the metal wh ereas the double bond may or may not be ccordinated. Other phosphine ligands containing an unsaturated site have been reported to coordinate to the central atom of Group VI metal carbonyls. K. Issleib and 9 coworkers reported that 3-butenyldiethylphosphinepenta- 4 carbonylchromium(O) can be prepared when Cr(C0 ) is irradiated 6 in the presence of 3-butenyldiethylphosphine.
