Reactivity characteristics of transition metal complexes that contain triamidoamine ligands' are beginning to be explored. 2'14 We recently published some unusual reactions of MoK and W9 complexes containing the [(Me. iSiNCFUCFDbN] 1 11'([N3N] 3~) ligand13 that included (inter alia) loss of molecular hydrogen from W alkyls to give alkylidyne complexes. We show here that when a, a-dehydrogenation is blocked (by employing a cyclopentyl ligand), a-elimination to give an alkylidene hydride complex of W (but not one of Mo) as well as eventual/3-elimination to give stable paramagnetic monohydride com-plexes of both Mo and W can be observed. Addition of cyclopentyllithium to [N3N] WC19 in diethyl ether yields lithium chloride and a pentane-soluble yellow crystalline complex quantitatively. An X-ray study16 (Figure 1) shows it to be the 18-electron'7cyclopentylidene hydride complex,[N3N] W (CXHs)(H). The cyclopentylidene ligand is oriented so that it lies (approximately) in a plane that passes through W, N (5), and N (8), spreading N (6) and N (7) apart slightly (125.7 versus 112.4 and 105.4). Electron density ascribable to the hydride ligand also was found approximately in this plane 1.81 A from the metal, butit would not survive refinement. Since yHW= 89 Hz, C (9)-•-H= 2.43 A, N (5>•-H= 1.68 A, and the p orbitals on C (9) and N (5) are oriented perpendicular to the C (9)—W—H—N (5) plane, there does not appear to be any significant interactionbetween H and either C (9) or N (5). The position and observed orientation of the cyclopentylidene ligand are consistent with thenature of the three available bonding orbitals, approximately dv:, dv;, and a a hybrid pointing along the z (W-Nd „m> r)-axis. 17 Formation of two cr-bonding hybrid
