Abstract
The reaction of the diphenyldiphosphene-[W(CO)5]3 complex 1 with N,N-dimethylcyanamide affords complex 2, resulting from the formal addition of one H and one NCH−NMe2 unit onto the PP double bond of 1 as the major product. A bicyclic complex (3) probably resulting from an initial substitution of one cis-CO of each [P−W(CO)5] group by the cyanamide is also formed. Both 2 and 3 have been characterized by X-ray crystal structure analysis.
