Abstract

cis-Diisocyanide metal complexes of the types cis-W(CNR)2(CO)4, cis-ReCl(CNR)2(CO)3, and Fe(η5-C5H5)Cl(CNR)2 and fac-triisocyanide metal complexes of the types fac-W(CNR)3(CO)3 and [Fe(η5-C5H5)(CNR)3]Cl have been prepared. The isocyanides are of the type 4-CNC6H2-3,5-i-Pr2-f, whereby the functionalities f are capable of forming strong coordinative bonds to transition metals (f=CCH, CC-4-C5H4N, or CC-4,4′-biphenyl-C6H2-3,5-i-Pr2-4-NC) or capable of being interconnected with each other by covalent bond formation (f=Br, I, CCSiMe3, CCH). The molecular structures of cis-W(4-CN-3,5-i-Pr2-C6H2CC-4-C 5H4N)2(CO)4, cis-ReCl(4-CN-3,5-i-Pr2-C6H2CCH) 2(CO)3, and Fe(η5-C5H5)Cl(4-CN-3,5-i-Pr 2-C6H2CC-4-C5H4N) 2 have been determined by X-ray crystallography.
