η-Cycloheptatrienyl tungsten chemistry

Abstract
Reduction of WCl6 with sodium amalgam in the presence of cycloheptatriene gives [W(η-C7H7)(η-C7H9)], which is a precursor to the compounds [W(η-C7H7)LX2], [W(η-C7H7)L2X], where L = tertiary phosphines or acetonitrile and X = halogen, [W(η-C7H7)(η-C5H4R)], R = H, Me, and [W(η-C7H7)(η-C9H7)].
