In attempts to bridge the complex [W(CO)3(phen)(pyz)] (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline; pyz = pyrazine) to acceptor centers, either soft centers such as cis-M(CO)2CL (M = Rh(I), Ir(I)) and fac-M(CO)3Cl2 (M = Ru(II), Os(II)) or hard centers such as BF3, the pyrazine ligand is lost, while the fragment W(CO)3(phen) behaves as a σ-donor base with the unexpected formation of heteronuclear early-late bimetallic compounds with a weak metal-metal bond, as confirmed by the easy substitution of W(CO)3(phen) by soft ligands (PPh3, CO, pyridine). The X-ray structures of [(CO)3(phen)W-cis-Ir(CO)2Cl] and [(CO)3(phen)W-fac-Os(CO)3Cl2] confirm a single metal-metal bond with an halogen bridging asymmetrically the two metallic moieties and with the tungsten atom achieving a distorted (6 + 1) octahedral coordination. All the heteronuclear bimetallic complexes investigated show in their electronic spectra a new solvatochromic absorption band at around 385-450 nm in addition to the MLCT (W→π*phen) absorption band typical of [W(CO)3(phen)L] complexes (L = CO, pyz, CH3CN) and an increased, in comparison to [W(CO)4(phen)], negative nonlinear (NLO) second-order emission working with the EFISH technique with an incident wavelength of 1.907 μm. The increase is due to an additional negative contribution of the new absorption band at around 385-450 nm, as shown by a solvatochromic investigation.
Oxidative addition of disulfides to the complex W(CO)3(phen)(EtCN). Synthesis, structure, and reactivity of W(CO)2(phen)(SR)2 (R = Ph, Me, CH2Ph, tBu; phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) coordinatively unsaturated complexes of tungsten(II) that reversibly bind CO and other ligands

The complex W(CO)3(phen)(EtCN) undergoes oxidative addition with disulfides forming the formally 16-electron complexes W(CO)2(phen)(SR)2 (R = Ph, tBu, Me, benzyl). The reactions proceed through intermediates identified spectroscopically as the coordinated disulfide complexes. The rate of oxidative addition of coordinated disulfides is in the order tBuSSBut ? MeSSMe 2SSCH2Ph 2(phen)(SR)2 undergo ligand addition, ligand substitution, and thiol/thiolate exchange reactions. Variable-temperature equilibrium studies yielded thermodynamic parameters for binding of CO to W(CO)2(phen)(SR)2: R = Ph, ΔH = -7.2 ± 0.5 kcal/mol, ΔS = -29 ± 3.5 cal/(mol deg); R = tBu, ΔH = -9.5 ± 0.5 kcal/mol, ΔS = -41 ± 3.5 cal/(mol deg). Reaction with trimethylphosphine yields an equilibrium mixture of the 18-electron adduct W(CO)2(phen)(PMe3)(SPh)2 as well as the 16-electron monocarbonyl complex W(CO)(phen)(PMe3)(SPh)2. Addition of trimethyl phosphite yields only W(CO)(phen)(P(OMe)3)(SPh)2. Pyridine, propionitrile, hydrogen, and THFdo not bind to the W(II) complexes. Reaction of W(CO)2(phen)(StBu)2 with 1 equiv of thiophenol yields W(CO)2(phen)(StBu)(SPh), which reacts with additional thiophenol to yield W(CO)2(phen)(SPh)2. Reaction with excess hydrogen sulfide yields W(CO)2(phen)(SH)2, which reacts further with thiophenol to yield W(CO)2(phen)(SPh)2. Crystal structures are reported for W(CO)2(phen)(SPh)2 and W(CO)(phen)(P(OMe)3)(SPh)2.
