Title: Preparation and characterization of ligand types intermediate in the metal catalyzed conversion of coal to methane, methanol, and higher alkanes and alcohols. Final progress report, September 1, 1978-June 30, 1982. [Transitional metal-formyl complexes; hydroxymethylidene complexes; metal. cap alpha. -hydroxyalkyl complexes; alkidene complexes]

This report attempts to concisely summarize the contents of the approximately 25 papers which have resulted from this project. Extensive reference is made to the attached publication list. In our original proposal, we outlined a program of preparation and characterization of 4 reactive ligand types (believed to represent plausible catalyst bound intermediates in homogeneous CO reduction) on homogeneous metal centers. Complexes containing each of the 4 ligand types have been isolated during the course of this study. This report describes the accomplishments in these areas, which are: (1) transitional metal-formyl complexes; (2) hydroxylmethylidene complexes; (3) metal ..cap alpha..-hydroxyalkyl complexes; and (4) alkylidene complexes.
