Molybdenum carbonyl complexes pyridine

Hi) Formation of transition metal carbonyl complexes Ashe and Colburn have reported (77JA8099) the synthesis of molybdenum carbonyl complexes of arsenin and antimonin but were unable to prepare bismin complexes because of its lability (Scheme 23). As expected for electron-rich aromatic compounds, both formed six-electron 7r-complexes (113) by a ligand displacement mechanism. Arsenin also forms a two-electron complex (114) analogous to those formed by pyridine, whereas antimonin did not give a similar complex under the conditions of this reaction.

Further studies of the reaction of molybdenum and tungsten carbonyl complexes with Lewis acids have been reported and several interesting new adducts characterized. [Mg(py)4][(7r-Cp)Mo(CO)3]2 has been obtained by a metal-exchange reaction from [Hg Mo(7t-Cp)(CO)3 2] in THF, followed by recrystallization from pyridine. X-Ray crystallographic studies have shown the compound to possess the units (67), the dimensions of which suggest that an... 

The a-hydrogens of nitroalkanes are appreciably acidic due to resonance stabilization of the anion [CH3NO2, 10.2 CH3CH2NO2, 8.5]. The anions derived from nitroalkanes give typical nucleophilic addition reactions with aldehydes (the Henry-Nef tandem reaction). Note that the nitro group can be changed directly to a carbonyl group via the Nef reaction (acidic conditions). Under basic conditions, salts of secondary nitro compounds are converted into ketones by the pyridine-HMPA complex of molybdenum (VI) peroxide. Nitronates from primary nitro compounds yield carboxylic acids since the initially formed aldehyde is rapidly oxidized under the reaction conditions. 

The ambivalent donor or acceptor role of low-valent metal carbonyl species, such as M(CO)5 [M = chromium, molybdenum, tungsten], in monometallic p-substituted pyridine (or stilbazole) complexes was investigated in detail by Kanis et al. in the early 1990s, and later by Roberto et al. (Figure 1.22). " As already seen before, when the substituent is an... 

Chromium, Molybdenum, and Tungsten.— Applications of benchrotrenes and analogous Mo complexes in organic synthesis have been reviewed, and studies of the use of such complexes as catalysts for alkene polymerization, isomerization, and hydrogenation have been reported. Decomplexation of the arene ligand of benchrotrenes can be conveniently effected by treatment with boiling pyridine. Spectroscopic studies of ( -arene)M(CO)3 complexes have been described, including discussions of carbonyl vibrational spectra, ih 2 and...
