The reactions of triphenylphosphine and triphenylarsine with (π- arene)M(CO)3 (M = Cr, Mo, W) to yield fac-M(CO)3(RPh3)3 (R = P, As) have been reexamined. Anomalies in the earlier literature have been resolved by the isolation of two solid state forms of each complex and by a study of the decomposition products of these compounds. Tricarbonyl complexes of tritolyl-phosphines and -arsines are also reported and their behaviour suggests steric effects initiate decomposition. In addition, a number of (π-arene)M(CO)3 compounds were shown to react with carbon monoxide to form M(CO)6.

Ligands of the type bis(ditoly1arsino)methane have been synthesized and their derivatives with hexacarbonylmolybdenum(0) prepared. Nuclear magnetic resonance and infrared spectroscopy have been used to determine the stereochemistry of the complexes and also to study steric effects within the molecules.

The reactions of the three tritolylphosphines (ortho, meta, and para) with the metal hexacarbonyls, M(CO)6 (M = Cr, Mo, W), have been investigated under a variety of conditions of temperature, ultraviolet irradiation, and molar ratio. The products were of the general formulae M(CO)5L and cis and trans M(CO)4L2 [L = tri-tolylphosphine] although not all the tetracarbonyl complexes could be prepared. Infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of these compounds showed interesting trends as the ligand was varied. ��� In addition, a novel series of derivatives with tri(o- tolyl)phosphine (pot) has been isolated, which on the basis of infrared, N.M.R., and mass spectral data are formulated as π- (pot)M(CO)3. ��� The nature of the above reactions and the properties of the products are explained in terms of an argument based on steric effects.

The reactions of the potentially bidentate ditertiary arsine ligand bis-(diphenylarsino)methane, dam, with the hexacarbonyls of the Group VI transition metals have been investigated. N.m.r, spectroscopy has been used to determine the mode of coordination of the ligand. In the compounds M(CO)5(dam), M(CO)4(dam)2, and M(CO)3(dam)3 [M = Cr, Mo, W], dam is acting as a monodentate ligand, but in M(CO)4(dam) it is acting as a normal chelate coordinating to the metal through both arsenic atoms. In the cases of molybdenum and chromium, only, a further type of complex M(CO)2(dam) has been isolated. The results of N.M.R., infrared, and mass spectrometry, together with other physical measurements, can only be explained on the assumption that the ligand was coordinated to the metal by an arene π-linkage and by one arsenic atom. This novel structure has been confirmed by a single crystal X-ray diffraction study on the chromium compound.

The blue compounds MX2(CO)2(Ph3P)2 (M = Mo and W, X = Cl and Br) have been shown to absorb carbon monoxide very readily indeed to form the corresponding tricarbonyls, and as reported earlier, the tricarbonyls may be easily converted into the dicarbonyls. The dicarbonyl is therefore a carbon monoxide carrier. The compounds Mo(CO)3 dtc2 and Mo(CO)2 dtc2 (dtc = diethyldithiocarbamate) also represent a carbon monoxide carrying system, but in this case both compounds are rather unstable. The compounds MoX2(CO)2 btp2 (btp = N-n-butylthiopicolinamide; X = Cl, Br) have been prepared by direct interaction of the ligand and the appropriate halocarbonyl. Although these compounds are believed to be monomeric they do not absorb carbon monoxide.

Reaction of ammonium thiocyanate with dihalocarbonyls of molybdenum and tungsten(11) leads to the elimination of ammonium chloride and the formation of a dithiocyanatocarbonyl complex of the transition metal. Although the thiocyanatocarbonyls themselves have not been isolated in a pure state, a number of substituted derivatives with phosphorus donor ligands have been prepared and characterized. In general these complexes are less stable than the corresponding carbonyl halide derivatives.
