A solution of 0.48 g (1.4 mmol) W(CO)6 and 0.33 g
(1.4 mmol) acryloylferrocene in n-hexane (150 mL) was
irradiated at 10 °C until the starting material was no longer
observed in the IR spectrum (ca. 4 h). When the reaction
was complete, volatiles were evaporated under vacuum
and the dark red residue dissolved in n-hexane, and the
solution was left overnight at ꢀ35 °C. The red precipitate
was separated from the supernatant solution and dried
under vacuum (0.2 g, 26% yield). Anal. Calc. for

tution of CO in the Group 6 metal carbonyls in the pres-
ence of excess olefin. In the case of tetracyanoethene [23]
and Z-cyclooctene with chromium [20], and vinylferrocene
with all three metals [9], the photosubstitution stops at the

first step, forming M(CO) (g -olefin). Here, we report the

0.33 g (1.4 mmol) acryloylferrocene in n-hexane (150 mL)
was irradiated at 10 °C until the starting material was no
longer observed in the IR spectrum (ca. 4 h). After the
reaction was completed the solvent was evaporated in vac-
uum. The solid residue was dissolved in n-hexane and the
solution was left overnight at ꢀ35 °C. A red precipitate
was separated from the supernatant solution and dried
in a vacuum or under a dry and oxygen-free nitrogen atmo-
sphere. Solvents were distilled after refluxing over metallic
sodium or phosphorous pentoxide for 3–4 days and stored
under nitrogen until used.
Analytical grade and deuterated solvents, ferrocene,
acryloyl chloride, trimethylaluminum, ethylaluminumdi-
chloride, trimethylphosphite and hexacarbonyltungsten(0)
were purchased from Aldrich Chemical Co. Ltd., Dorset,
England, and used as received. The thermal reactions and
other treatments of organometallic compounds such as
purification and crystallization were followed by taking
IR spectra from solutions on a Perkin–Elmer 16 PC FT-
IR spectrometer. NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker
