Abstract:

Both historically and commercially alpha-alkyl complexes have played a prominent role in the development of mononuclear transition metal chemistry. The recent syntheses and characterizations of 1,2-dialkyl-dimolybdenum and -ditungsten compounds afford the opportunity of studying the reactivity patterns of alpha-alkyl groups bonded to the simplest of metal clusters, namely dimetal centers. We wish here to report the results of labelling studies using the alpha-CH2CD3 ligand and furthermore to address ourselves to the mechanistic implications of these results.
