abstract
The synthesis of PPN+HW(CO)4PR3 (R = Me, OMe, Ph) was accomplished via careful protonation of W(CO)4PR32. The cis orientation of the hydride and P-donor ligands was affirmed by v(CO) infrared and carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance studies. Chemical characterizations included reactions with CO2, yielding the insertion product HCOOW(CO)4P, and with protic, main-group, and transition-metal Lewis acids. With trimethylaluminum the hydride was abstracted and the presumably 5-coordinate [W(CO)4P]0 resulting therefrom aggregated with unreacted HW(CO)4P to produce -H[W(CO)4P]2 (P = P(OMe)3, PMe3). The latter disubstituted binuclear bridging hydrides were also the products obtained from deliberate thermal or aerobic decomposition of these phosphine hydrides. Aggregation of HW-(CO)4P(OMe)3 with photochemically produced [W(CO)5]0 or [Cr(CO)6]0 readily occurred, yielding the monosubstituted binuclear bridging hydride anions. Tungsten-183 to proton coupling was interpreted in terms of the electronic and/or steric asymmetry of the hydride in these latter anions. 1982, American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.
