Diphenyl(vinyl)stannylbis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)methane and diphenyl(vinyl)stannylbis(3,4,5-trimethylpyrazol-1-yl)methane have been synthesized by the reaction of bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)methyl or bis(3,4,5trimethylpyrazol-1-yl)methyllithium with diphenyl(vinyl)tin iodide. Treatment of these bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methanes modified by the vinyltin groups with M(CO) 5 THF (M=Mo and W) in refluxing THF resulted in new heterobimetallic complexes R 3 SnCHPz 2 M(CO) 3 (R 3 Sn represents trivinyltin or diphenyl(vinyl)tin, and Pz represents substituted pyrazol-1-yl), in which a vinyl group bonds to the molybdenum or tungsten atom in η 2 -fashion to lead to bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methanes acting as a tridentate κ 3 -(π,N,N) ligand. Reaction of (CH 2 = CH) 3 SnCH(3,5-Me 2 Pz) 2 W(CO) 3 and Ph 2 (CH 2 =CH)SnCH(3,5-Me 2 Pz) 2 W(CO) 3 with I 2 has been investigated. The former gave a complex CH 2 (3,5-Me 2 Pz) 2 W(CO) 4 , while the latter yielded a four-membered heterometallocyclic complex CH(3,5-Me 2 Pz) 2 W(CO) 3 I with the loss of the organotin group. Treatment of this four-membered heterometallocyclic complex with PhSNa led to the iodide anion replaced by the thiophenolate anion to give a complex CH(3,5-Me 2 Pz) 2 W(CO) 3 SPh.
