Abstract
Halocarbene complexes such as (1) are potential intermediates in the synthesis of complexes containing MC bonds, thus conferring preparative interest upon the mechanism of the thermolysis of (1). On heating in solution (1) gives the carbyne complex (2); heating of the solid affords the isocyanide complex (3) among other products. equation image
