Abstract

Dinuclear molybdenum biscarbene complexes, [M(CO)5C(OEt)spacerC(OEt)M(CO)5], were synthesized employing the classical Fischer method. The connecting spacer unit in each case was a heterocyclic thiophene derivative and included deprotonated thiophene (HTH) 2, 2, 2'-bithiophene (HT-TH) 5, 3, 6-dimethylthieno[3, 2-b]thiophene (HT'T'H) 8 as well as dithieno[3, 2-b;2', 3'-d] thiophene (HTTTH) 11. In each of the cases the particular monocarbene complex [Mo(CO)5C(OEt)TH](1), [Mo(CO)5C(OEt)T-TH] (4), [Mo(CO)5C(OEt)T'T'H] (7) or [Mo(CO)5C(OEt)TTTH] (10) was obtained as a byproduct of the reaction. The more reactive biscarbene complexes of thiophene, [Mo(CO)5C(OEt)TC(OEt)Mo(CO)5](2), 2, 2'-bithiophene, [Mo(CO)5C(OEt)T-TC(OEt)Mo(CO)5](5), and 3, 6-dimethylthieno[3, 2-b]thiophene, [Mo(CO)5C(OEt)T'T'C(OEt)Mo(CO)5] (8), yielded, upon exposure to trace amounts of water or oxygen, modified monocarbene products, complexes [Mo(CO)5C(OEt)TC(O)OEt] (3), [Mo(CO)5C(OEt)T-TC(O)OEt] (6) and [Mo(CO)5C(OEt)T'T'C(O)OEt] (9) respectively, in which one metal moiety was replaced by an oxygen group. In the case of the more stable dithieno[3, 2-b;2', 3'-d]thiophene bis carbene complex [Mo(CO)5C(OEt)TTTC(OEt)Mo(CO)5] (11), this product was absent. Instead, a biscarbene product [Mo(CO)5C (OEt)TTTC(OEt)C(OEt)TTTC(OEt)Mo(CO)5] (12) was yielded that contained an extended conjugated bridging ligand, resulting from a carbene-carbene coupling reaction.

Counts describe saved source records; repository versions may appear separately. A completed source query is not a complete or live citation census. A citation does not prove endorsement or research quality. Counts depend on publication age and index coverage. Colors identify research areas; positions are for readability.
