Relative to j)-xylene. The table is based on that given by Olah et t The first three are w-complexes, the fourth cr-complexes. t From ref. 22c. These values differ slightly from those in ref. 39. 

Succinic acid diesters are also obtained by one-step hydrogenation (over Pd on charcoal) and esterification of maleic anhydride dissolved in alcohols (40) carbonylation of acrylates in the presence of alcohols and Co complex catalysts (41—43) carbonylation of ethylene in alcohol in the presence of Pd or Pd—Cu catalysts (44—50) hydroformylation of acetylene with Mo and W complexes in the presence of butanol (51) and a biochemical process from dextrose/com steep Hquor, using Jinaerobiumspirillum succiniciproducens as a bacterium (52). 

Since hydration of biomolecules is of particular importance in molecular biology, uracil - water (U-W) complexes have been studied by many groups [98 JCS(F) 1277, 98JST307, 99JPC(A)1611, 00PCCP1281]. In the cyclic U-W complex the most stable hydrogen bond is formed at the site characterized by the lowest proton...

In 1987 Tapper et al. reported the first stable Mo and W complexed phosphinidenes 52 with two Cp ligands on the transition metal from the reaction of Mes PCl with Cp2M(H)Li [91]. Niecke et al. approached the syntheses of similar compounds with instead a NHMes substituent using Mes NPCl and Cp2M(H)Li...

The alkene-W complexes used in this study are complexes 33, 166, and 168 (Schemes 5 and 31). The deprotonation of the W-alkene functionality has been carried out on 166, which has three methyl substituents at the C=C bond, in order to prevent any rearrangement of the 1-metallacyclopropene to the corresponding alkylidyne.22b The reaction of 166 with LiBu led to the 1-metallacyclopropene 169 (Scheme 32), which was isolated in quite good yield. The alkylidene 169, a very stable compound, was characterized both in solution and in the solid state.28 The h NMR spectrum shows a four-fold symmetry calixarene skeleton, while the 13C NMR spectrum contains a resonance at 271.0 ppm for the alkylidene carbon. 

The shift in the C=C frequency, vi, for adsorbed ethylene relative to that in the gas phase is 23 cm-1. This is much greater than the 2 cm-1 shift that is observed on liquefaction (42) but is less than that found for complexes of silver salts (44) (about 40 cm-1) or platinum complexes (48) (105 cm-1). Often there is a correlation of the enthalpy of formation of complexes of ethylene to this frequency shift (44, 45). If we use the curve showing this correlation for heat of adsorption of ethylene on various molecular sieves (45), we find that a shift of 23 cm-1 should correspond to a heat of adsorption of 13.8 kcal. This value is in excellent agreement with the value of 14 kcal obtained for isosteric heats at low coverage. Thus, this comparison reinforces the conclusion that ethylene adsorbed on zinc oxide is best characterized as an olefin w-bonded to the surface, i.e., a surface w-complex. 

Step (18) in the above is the analog of step (8), which is required for H2—D2 equilibration it is a necessary step if we view the jr-allyl as an immobile species on the surface. The products of step (19) can be viewed as propylene in the form of a loosely held w-complex which on desorption yields isomerized propylene. Readsorption of the isomerized propylene or further reaction of the x-complex would yield surface OD groups. When equilibrium is achieved, the concentration of surface OD groups should equal 40% of the initial concentration of OH groups. Figure 21 shows a plot versus time of the intensity (multiplied by a scale factor to yield concentration) of the surface OH and OD. The expected equilibrium points are indicated by arrows. Corresponding data for CD3—CH=CH2 are also shown. Except for the OH species from CD3—CH=CH2, which is a relatively weak band on the side of a surface hydroxyl, the curves approach the expected value. 

We have seen above several examples where [Cp2M(dt)]+ (M = Mo, W) complexes organize in the solid state into low dimensional structures, leading to characteristic magnetic behaviors such as spin chains (eventually alternated) or spin ladders. The extensive use in later years of dithiolene ligands such as dmit or dddt was aimed at... 

In comparison with other catalysts, (diphenylcarbene)tungstenpenta-carbonyl is surprisingly sluggish (26). This observation is significant as it relates to diverse views regarding the carbene-to metallocyclobutane interconversion. Whereas Casey emphasizes a need to accommodate the incoming olefin within the coordination sphere of the metal prior to rearrangement to a metallocycle [Eq. (5)], Katz (28) has described the process essentially as a dipolar attack of a polarized carbene-metal (R2C+—M-) on the olefin [Eq. (6)]. The latter does not specify a need for w-complexation of the olefin as a precondition to metathesis.

Recently, semiempirical PM3 computational analysis (568) and first ab initio study (569) of the nucleophilic addition to chiral nitrones of Grignard reagents have been carried out.
