Bonding and Reactivity of Tungstenacyclobutadiene Complexes

  • Conference paper

  • 319 Accesses

Abstract

The bonding and structural peculiarities of some tungstenacyclobutadienes are discussed. The reaction path and electronic requirements for rearrangement to a tungstenatetrahedrane are formulated. Two reaction paths are proposed to account for the addition of an acetylene to the tungstenacyclobutadienes which ultimately yield cyclopentadienyl complexes. One path involves coordination and direct collapse to the cyclopentadienyl complex. The acetylene inserts into a W-C bond in the other path yielding a tungstenabenzene intermediate.
