Nucleophilic addition to acyclic (diene)Mo+ cations has been examined. For (isoprene) Mo(CO)2L (L = Cp, Cp, In), the regioselectivity for nucleophilic attack has been found to depend on the nature of the nucleophile, the ligand L, the reaction solvent and the temperature21,813 833 193. The generation and in situ reactivity of transoid acyclic (diene)molybdenum and tungsten cations with nucleophiles has been previously mentioned (Section IV.C.2). 

In aqueous solution, no oxygen-free tungsten cation exists but only monomeric or dimeric species like The discharge of such a species at the cathode yields an oxidic... 

There is often a wide range of crystalline soHd solubiUty between end-member compositions. Additionally the ferroelectric and antiferroelectric Curie temperatures and consequent properties appear to mutate continuously with fractional cation substitution. Thus the perovskite system has a variety of extremely usehil properties. Other oxygen octahedra stmcture ferroelectrics such as lithium niobate [12031 -63-9] LiNbO, lithium tantalate [12031 -66-2] LiTaO, the tungsten bron2e stmctures, bismuth oxide layer stmctures, pyrochlore stmctures, and order—disorder-type ferroelectrics are well discussed elsewhere (4,12,22,23). 

Another example of steric selectivity involves the homopoly and heteropoly ions of molybdenum, tungsten, etc. Each molybdenum(VI) and tungsten(VI) ion is octahedraHy coordinated to six oxygen (0x0) ligands. Chromium (VT) is too small and forms only the weU-known chromate-type species having four 0x0 ligands. The abiUty of other cations to participate in stable heteropoly ion formation is also size related. 

In 1826 J. J. Berzelius found that acidification of solutions containing both molybdate and phosphate produced a yellow crystalline precipitate. This was the first example of a heteropolyanion and it actually contains the phos-phomolybdate ion, [PMoi204o] , which can be used in the quantitative estimation of phosphate. Since its discovery a host of other heteropolyanions have been prepared, mostly with molybdenum and tungsten but with more than 50 different heteroatoms, which include many non-metals and most transition metals — often in more than one oxidation state. Unless the heteroatom contributes to the colour, the heteropoly-molybdates and -tungstates are generally of varying shades of yellow. The free acids and the salts of small cations are extremely soluble in water but the salts of large cations such as Cs, Ba" and Pb" are usually insoluble. The solid salts are noticeably more stable thermally than are the salts of isopolyanions. Heteropoly compounds have been applied extensively as catalysts in the petrochemicals industry, as precipitants for numerous dyes with which they form lakes and, in the case of the Mo compounds, as flame retardants. 

Molybdenum and tungsten hexacarbonyls are able to form anionic complexes (AsPli4)2[(OC)4M( -pz)2M(CO)4] upon reaction with sodium pyrazolate and PluAsCl (72CB3203). The cationic complexes [(rj -Cp)2Mo(/Lt-pz)2Mo(rj -Cp)2] " (n = 2, 3) are known as well (74HCA1988). The other representatives of the complexes containing an exobidentate ligand (26) are derived from 4//-pyrazoles [70ZAAC(379)169]. 

When methylene chloride was used as a solvent, it was found that 28 are obtained in minor amounts, while the dominating product is the -coordinated chloro-carbyne species [(> -Tp )Mo(CO)2(=CCl)], whose yield increases abruptly with substitution in the pyrazol-l-yl fragments (3-methyl-, 3,4,5-trimethyl-, and 3,5-dimethyl-4-chloro derivatives) [90AX(C)59,95JCS(D) 1709]. The tungsten analog can be prepared similarly. The chlorocarbyne molybdenum complex follows also from the reaction of the parent anion with triphenylsulfonium cation but conducted in dichloromethane. The bromo- and iodocarbyne derivatives are made similarly. 

A particularly interesting system for the epoxidation of propylene to propylene oxide, working under pseudo-heterogeneous conditions, was reported by Zuwei and coworkers [61]. The catalyst, which was based on the Venturello anion combined with long-chained alkylpyridinium cations, showed unique solubility properties. I11 the presence of hydrogen peroxide the catalyst was fully soluble in the solvent, a 4 3 mixture of toluene and tributyl phosphate, but when no more oxidant was left, the tungsten catalyst precipitated and could simply be removed from the... 

Pyridine complexes of Pd- and Pt-pincer ligands are also suitable substrates for olefin metathesis [116]. The first-generation catalyst 9 efficiently mediates the RCM of diallylphosphines and diallyl sulfide when the heteroatom is com-plexed by a cationic [C5H5(NO)(PPh3)Re] moiety [117]. This principle has been exploited in the same study for tungsten, rhodium, and platinum complexes.
