1,3,5-Trimethyl-1,3,5-triazacyclohexane tricarbonyl complexes of Mo and W as sources of the fac-M(CO)3 fragment. Mild syntheses of fac-[M(CO)3(CH3CN)3] (M=Mo, W), [W(CO)3(PR3)3], [W(CO)(alkyne)3] and [W(CO)3(π-arene)] complexes

The 1,3,5-trimethyl-1,3,5-triazacyclohexane (Me3tach) group in [M(CO)3(Me3tach)] complexes (M=Mo, W) is easily displaced by a variety of ligands under mild conditions. The lability of the Me3tach ligand allows the [M(CO)3(Me3tach)] complexes to be used as synthetic intermediates in convenient syntheses of products such as fac-[M(CO)3(CH3CN)3] (M=Mo, W), [W(CO)(alkyne)3], [W(CO)3(PR3)3] and [W(CO)3(η6-arene)] complexes. An improved synthesis of [W(CO)3(Me3tach)] from [W(CO)6] and Me3tach is described.
