Dithiocarbene tungsten complexes, W(CO)/sub 5/(C(SR)(SR')), were prepared in good yield. The substituted tetracarbonyl dimethyldithiocarbene tungsten complexes are prepared by an analogous route. Cyclic dithiocarbene tungsten complexes may be prepared in a similar manner. Isocyanide complexes are formed when W(CO)/sub 5/(C(SCH/sub 3/)/sub 2/) reacts with primary amines. Net effect of the reaction of tungsten dithiocarbene complexes with tertiary phosphine is to transfer the carbene group from the tungsten to the phosphorus atom.
