Abstract
The reactions between diphenylmethyleneaminotrimethylsilane and [M(π-C5H5)(CO)3X](M = Mo or W; X = Cl, Br, l) produce the complexes [M(π-C5H5)(CO)2N:CPh2] and [{M(π-C5H5)(CO)N:CPh2}2] in which the methyleneamino-group acts as a three-electron donor. Both types of complexes failed to react with phosphines, but with iodine, complexes of the type [M3(π-C5H5)3I3O4] were formed. Ph2C:NLi reacts with [M(π-C5H5)(CO)3X] in a 2:1 molar ratio to produce [M(π-C5H5)(CO)2(Ph2CNCPh2)], believed to contain an aza-allyl group. The carbon monoxide was eliminated as the cyanate ion.
