Abstract

The diethoxycyclopropenylidene complexes [M(CO)5{C3-C3(OCH2CH 3)2}] (M = Cr, Mo, W)react with K[Fe(CO)2(Cp)] to give the bimetallic cyclopropenylidene complexes [M(CO)52-C3(OCH2CH 3)}Fe(CO)2(Cp)], but the second ethoxide is not displaced by excess K[Fe(CO)2(Cp)]. Spectroscopic evidence (1H NMR, 13C NMR, and IR) as well as a X-ray crystal structure determination of [Cr(CO)52-C3(OCH2CH 3)}Fe(CO)2 (Cp)] suggests that the central C3 ring has a great deal of cyclopropenium character.
