Abstract
Reactions of the intermediate W(CO)5THF, generated photochemically from W(CO)6 in THF, with Ph2P(CH2)n, PPh2 [=PP; n = 2 (dppe), 4 (dppb), 6 (dpph), 10 (dppd)] at room temperature in THF solutions gave exclusively bimetallic complexes of the (CO)5WPPW(CO)5 type. In addition, complexes bridged by diphosphine ligands of the (CO)4(pip)MPPM(pip)(CO)4 type (pip = piperidine; M = Mo, W) were prepared by stirring the (CO)4M(pip)2 complexes with bis(diphenylphosphino)alkanes in CH2Cl2 solution at ambient temperatures. These new bis(diphenylphosphino)alkane-bridged complexes were characterized by i.r., 1H- and 31P-n.m.r. spectroscopies, as well as by elemental analysis.
