Title: Synthesis and characterization of (Et/sub 4/N)(M(CO)/sub 5/SR) and (Et/sub 4/N)/sub 2/(M/sub 2/(CO)/sub 8/(SR)/sub 2/) complexes (M = Cr, Mo, W). Ligand substitution reactions and x-ray crystal structure of (Et/sub 4/N)/sub 2/(W/sub 2/(CO)/sub 8/(SPh)/sub 2/)

A series of complexes (Et/sub 4/N)(M(CO)/sub 5/SR) (M = Cr, Mo, W; R = H, Ph), have been synthesized and characterized by /sup 1/H and /sup 13/C NMR and ir spectroscopies. Gentle heating causes these complexes to lose a carbonyl ligand, yielding the doubly bridged sulfur dimers M/sub 2/(CO)/sub 8/(..mu..-SR)/sub 2//sup 2 -/. The x-ray crystal structure of (Et/sub 4/N)/sub 2/(W/sub 2/(CO)/sub 8/(SPh)/sub 2/) has been determined. The complex crystallizes in the triclinic space group P /anti 1/ with unit cell parameters a = 9.8664 (17) /angstrom/, b = 9.8566 (22) /angstrom/, c = 11.8270 (26) /angstrom/, ..cap alpha.. = 65.790 (16)/degrees/, ..beta.. = 81.710 (16)/degrees/, ..gamma.. = 82.000 (16)/degrees/, V = 1034.0 (4) /angstrom//sup 3/, and Z = 1. Both mono- and dinuclear metal complexes readily react with phosphorus donor ligands to afford the carbon monoxide substituted complexes cis-M(CO)/sub 4/(P)(SR)/sup -/ (P = PMe/sub 3/, P(OMe)/sub 3/, PPh/sub 3/). In addition, the dimers react with 1 atm of carbon monoxide to re-form the mononuclear species M(CO)/sub 5/SR/sup -/ in quantitative yields. Unsuccessful attempts to insert CO/sub 2/, COS, or CS/sub 2/ into the M-SR bond in the M(CO)/sub 5/SR/sup -/ derivatives are noted. 25 references, 3 figures, 15 tables.
