Bis(arylimido)Cr(VI) dialkyls lacking β-hydrogen decompose by α-hydrogen abstraction and, upon trapping with triphenylphosphine, yield isolable alkylidene complexes. Two such complexes, namely (ArN
The reaction between [[{Me2P(BH3)}(Me3Si)C{(SiMe2)(CH2)}]Li(THF)3]2 and either Cp2Sn or Cp2Pb in toluene cleanly gives the compounds rac-[{Me2P(BH3)}(Me3Si)C{(SiMe2)(CH2)}]2E in moderate yield [E = Sn
The reaction of [{Cp(CO)2Fe}BiCl2] (1a) with [Co(CO)4]- leads to the formation of the first heteroleptic substituted bismuthane, [(μ3-Bi){Co(CO)4}2{Fe(CO)2Cp}] (2). When the “open” complex 2 is irradi
