We have begun to explore the chemistry of Mo and W complexes that contain triamidoamine ligands,(R'NCIhCHahN, where R'is a silyl group (eg, SiMej) 1 or CeFs· 2 (The only other reported W or Mo complex in this category is [(MeNCH2-CH2) 3N] Mo= N. 3) We found that paramagnetic [(R3SiNCH2-CH2) 3N] Mo (CH3) and [(R3SiNCH2CH2) 3N] Mo (C= CR")(R3Si= Me3Si, PhMe2Si, or Ph2MeSi; R"= Me, Ph, or SiMe3) complexes could be prepared readily from [(R3SiNCH2CH2) 3N]-MoCl. 1 We have now found that attempted syntheses of [(R'NCH2CH2) 3N] W (alkyl) complexes usually yield alkylidyne complexes, even when ß protons are present in the alkyl. The monochloride complexes [(R3SiNCH2CH2) 3N] WCl (R3-Si= Me3Si, Me2PhSi, or MePh2Si) can be prepared in low yields (~ 20%) in THF from WCL (1, 2-dimethoxyethane) or WCl4 (TOF) 2 and the trilithium salts of the ligands,(R3-SiNLiCH2CH2) 3N.(See supplementary material for details.) Addition of methyllithium to [(Me3SiNCH2CH2) 3N] WCl in ether yields paramagnetic [(Me3SiNCH2CH2) 3N] W (CH3) in high yield. By the Evan’s method the magnetic moment was found to be 2.5 pb at 25 C, slightly less than the expected spin-only value (2.83 ps) for two unpaired electrons. Two characteristic ligand methylene resonances can be observed in CeDe at—31.43 (width at half-height= wi/2= 40 Hz) and—72.70 ppm (wi/2= 23 Hz) at 25 C, while the TMS methyl resonances are observed at 9.89 ppm. The CH3 resonance cannot be observed, although the CD3 resonance in [(Me3SiNCH2CH2) 3N] W (CD3) is observed at 7.5 ppm (wi/2= 5 Hz) in the 2H NMR spectrum. 4-6 [(Me3-SiNCH2CH2) 3N] W (CH3) is converted virtually quantitatively into [(Me3SiNCH2CH2) 3N] W= CH (d (CK)= 272.6 ppm, JCw= 244 Hz,()= 7.08 ppm, Jhw= 81 Hz)(eq 1) between 25 and 80 C. The reaction is first order through several half-lives and independent of concentration over a 5-fold range (Table 1) as determined by proton NMR at 500 MHz by following the decrease in the intensity of the TMS resonance. A resonance for molecular hydrogen can be observed, although dihydrogen’s low solubility in toluene-ág does not allow the amount to be quantified by NMR. From the data presented in Table 1, values for AH*= 19.2 kcal mol-1 and AS*=—16 eu
