Abstract
The synthesis and physical properties of a series of cycloheptatrienyl molybdenum and tungsten dicarbonyl compounds incorporating dimethyl(1-pyrazolyl)(ethanolamine)gallate ligands have been investigated. The monomeric, pseudo octahedral, complexes have the organogallate ligand occupying a set of facial positions with the cycloheptatrienyl ring situated opposite to the amino nitrogen atom. Proton nmr studies have shown the η3-C7H7 ligand of the complexes to be fluxional in solution at room temperature. In the low temperature limiting 1H nmr spectra of the complexes in solution, however, it is possible to distinguish ail seven protons of the static η3-C7H7 ring owing to the asymmetric nature of the octahedral molecules.
