Hydride complexes 2> (X = H or Cl, L = PMe2Ph or AsMe2Ph) and their deuteride analogues have been prepared.The complex exists in solution as an equilibrium mixture of isomers.The dideuteride exchanges with H2 in solution: no is formed, suggesting that exchange occurs via .Exchange also occurs with ethene and propene: here is observed.Ethene is hydrogenated by 2>, with formation of ethane and complexes 2>, which are reconverted to 2> by H2.The terminal alkenes 1-hexene and 3-phenylpropene are isomerized by 2>: for L = AsMe2Ph, a little hydrogenation of 3-phenylpropene also occurs.
