Abstract

The complexes M(PCy₃)₂(CO)₃ (M = Cr, Mo, W) react with phenyl disulfide to form stable 17-electron radical complexes ^.M(PCy₃)₂(CO)₃(SPh). Reaction with other alkyl and aryl disulfides also yields stable radicals and reaction with I₂ yields ^.W(PⁱPr₃)₂(CO)₃(I). Reaction with thiols, hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen iodide yield the corresponding 18-electron hydrides W(PⁱPr₃)₂(CO)₃(H)(X). The crystal structure of W(PⁱPr₃)₂(CO)₃(H)(I) is reported and allows comparison with the structure of the radical complex ^.W(PⁱPr₃)₂(CO)₃(I). The W-H bond strengths in these heteroatom complexes are low, 55-57 kcal mol^-1. In spite of steric crowding, H atom transfer from W(PⁱPr₃)₂(CO)₃(H)(SPh) to ^.Cr(CO)₂(PPh₃)Cp occurs readily due to the stronger nature of the Cr-H bond formed. The chromium radical does not appear to attack the molecular hydrogen complex W(Pr₃)₂(CO)₃(H₂) or its dihydride form W(Pr₃)₂(CO)₃(H)₂ based on rate of hydrogenation studies. Phenyl disulfide does react with either W(Pr₃)₂(CO)₃(H₂) or its dihydride tautomer W(Pr₃)₂(CO)₃(H)₂ to form thiophenol and W(Pr₃)₂(CO)₃(SPh^.). This reaction is proposed to proceed by reaction of ^.SPh radicals which are generated in situ. These studies are used to bracket the first W-H bond dissociation energy in W(Pr₃)₂(CO)₃(H)₂. Additional studies of H atom and heteoratom transfer are described.
