Abstract
Abstract The preparation of cis -[Mo(CO) 4 (biL)] (biL denotes 2,2′-bipyridine- x,x ′-dicarbonitrile, x,x ′ = 4,5) is reported. Reaction of these complexes with [W(CO) 5 (THF)] produces [MoW 2 (CO) 14 (biL)]. The synthesis of [W 2 CO) 10 (biL)] (biL, x,x ′ = 5) is also reported. The ligands and complexes have been characterised by spectroscopy (IR, electronic absorption, NMR) and microanalysis. The synthesis of biL is significantly assisted by ultrasonification.
