Title: Oxidative addition of disulfides to the complex W(CO){sub 3}(phen)(EtCN). Synthesis, structure, and reactivity of W(CO){sub 2}(phen)(SR){sub 2}(R = Ph, Me, CH{sub 2}Ph, {sup t}Bu; phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) coordinatively unsaturated complexes of tungsten(II) that reversibly bind CO and other ligands

The complex W(CO){sub 3}(phen)(EtCN) undergoes oxidative addition with disulfides forming the formally 16-electron complexes W(CO){sub 2}(phen)(SR){sub 2}(R=Ph, {sup t}Bu, Me, benzyl). The reactions proceed through intermediates identified spectroscopically as the coordinated disulfide complexes. The rate of oxidative addition of coordinated disulfides is in the order {sup t}BuSSBu{sup t}<
