Hexacarbonylchromium(O) is readily attacked by chlorine giving CrCb, CO, and COCI2. Bromine and iodine do not attack Cr(CO)6 to any substantial extent at room temperature. The chromium tricarbonyl arene complexes, Cr(CO)3( -arene), are readily oxidized at room temperature by I2 to give Cris this is a conveitient preparative method for the anhydrous iodide. Although the oxidation of the tricarbonyl arene derivatives of chrontium with I2 does not show evidence of intermediate carbonyl complexes in oxidation states >0, the corresponding molybdenum(O) compounds give a series of carbonyl iodides of molybdenum(II), for example, the ionic [Mo(CO)3 ( ) -arene)]I. 

Arene Chromium Carbonyl Arenes are generally protected with the Cr(CO)3 group, but as this complexation leads to a number of other important changes in the chemical properties of the arene, in particular making it much more susceptible to nucleophilic attack, we will study this reagent in detail in Section 14.7.

The carbonyl complexes listed in Table V are of two types tricarbonyl-chromium rj6-arene 77-complexes, and pentacarbonyltungsten <7-pyridine complexes, with both complex types having relatively low y. Nonlinearities increase on arene or pyridine 77-system lengthening, and on proceeding from acceptor to donor substituent on the tricarbonylchromium-coordinated arene ring. Relative magnitudes and trends thus mirror those observed with quadratic nonlinearities of these complexes (see Ref. 1)...

The deoxygenation of arene oxides have also been achieved by using chromium carbonyl complexes. The aromatic hydrocarbons produced are partially converted to chromium complexes. Formation of 246 in methanol suggests Rh-catalyzed solvolysis, resulting in nucleophilic addition of meth-...

If the issue of n-complex formation with PMDA-ODA polyimide seems confused, the results of model compound studies have, in places, exacerbated the problem. Several research groups have turned to reactions of formally zerovalent chromium to model the chemistry of PMDA-ODA/Cr (58e, 60. 62) The studies assume that the chemistry of atomic Cr and of certain chromium carbonyl complexes is coextensive. Since atomic chromium has not been available as a benchtop reagent, popular sources of formally zerovalent chromium, disguised as Cr(CO)6 and (CH3CN)3Cr(CO)3, have been used. These compounds readily form (arene)Cr(CO)3 complexes (71). 

The chromium carbonyl linkers 1.40 (98) and 1.41 (99) were prepared from commercial triphenylphospine resin and respectively from pre-formed p-arene chromium carbenes and Fischer chromium amino carbenes. Their SP elaboration is followed by cleavage with pyridine at reflux for 2 h (1.40) and with iodine in DCM for 1 h at rt (1.41) both linkers produce the desired compounds in good yields. A similar cobalt carbonyl linker 1.42 (100) was prepared as a mixmre of mono- (1.42a) and bis- (1.42b) phosphine complex, either from pre-formed alkyne complexes on triphenylphosphine resin or by direct alkyne loading on the bisphosphine cobalt complex traceless cleavage was obtained after SP transformations by aerial oxidation (DCM, O2, hp, 72 h, rt) and modified alkynes were released with good yields and... 

The diverse chemistry of chromium carbonyl complexes has its origin in the discovery of Cr(CO)6 in 1926 by Job and Cassal. Early developments in this area included the preparation of the (jj -arene)Cr(CO)3 family of organometallics by Nicholls and Whiting in 1959, the synthesis of the first structurally characterized carbene complex by Fischer and Maasbdl (1965), and a... 

Decomplexation of ArCr CO)3. The chromium carbonyl complexes of arenes are useful for activation of the aryl group to nucleophilic attack (6, 28, 125-126 7, 71-72). Decomplexation has been effected with iodine or by photochemical oxidation with destruction of the expensive Cr(CO)3 unit. A more recent method involves reflux with pyridine to form Py3-Cr(CO)3 in yields of 70-100%. The pyridine complex in the presence of BF3 can be reused for preparation of ArCr(CO)3. Isomerization of 1,3-dienes. Ergosteryl acetate (1) is isomerized by chromium carbonyl to ergosteryl 83 acetate (2) in 81% yield. Under the same conditions ergosteryl 83 acetate (3) is isomerized to ergosteryl 81 acetate (4). 80th reactions involve isomerization of a cisoid diene to a transpid diene. In contrast iron carbonyl isomerizes steroidal transoid 3,5- and 4,6-dienes to 2,4-dienes. ... 

Detailed vibrational assignments have been carried out on arene chromium and arene molybdenum tricarbonyl complexes (18, 19). Splitting of the E band in the carbonyl region was observed for substituted benzene chromium tricarbonyl complexes but not in (CgHg)Cr(CO)3 itself, showing that the concept of local symmetry (Cg ) is of very restricted validity when discussing the C—O stretching vibrations in such complexes (18).
