Abstract
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.Keywords
