Abstract:Reduction of d2 metal–oxo ions of the form [MO(PP)2Cl]+ (M=Mo, W; PP=chelating diphosphine) produces d3 MO(PP)2Cl complexes, which include the first isolated examples in group 6. The stability and reactivity of the MO(PP)2Cl compounds are found to depend upon the steric bulk of the phosphine ligands: derivatives with bulky phosphines that shield the oxo ligand are stable enough to be isolated, whereas those with phosphines that leave the oxo ligand exposed are more reactive and observed transiently.
