Electric Literature of 32993-05-8. Chemistry is an experimental science, and the best way to enjoy it and learn about it is performing experiments.Introducing a new discovery about 32993-05-8, Name is Chlorocyclopentadienylbis(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium(II)
The reaction of [W(?CC?CSiMe3)(CO)2(Tp)] (Tp = hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)borate) with [nBu4N]F and selenium in the presence of [RuCl(PPh3)2(eta-C5H5)] affords a mixture of the tricarbido complex [WRu(mu-CCC)(CO)2(PPh3)2(eta-C5H5)(Tp)] and the selenoxopropadienylidene (C3Se) complex [WRu(mu-CCCSe)(CO)2(PPh3)2(eta-C5H5)(Tp)], both of which were structurally characterized. The formation of the bimetallic C3Se complex is consistent with the intermediacy of the salt [nBu4N] [W(?CC?CSe)(CO)2(Tp)], which could be observed spectroscopically and computationally interrogated, but not yet isolated.
