Abstract
Abstract Hexakis(isocyanide)metals, M(RNC) 6 (M = Cr, Mo, W; R = 2,6-Me 2 C 6 H 3 , 2,4,6-Me 3 C 6 H 2 , 2,4-t-Bu 2 -6-MeC 6 H 2 , 2,4,6-t-Bu 3 C 6 H 2 and t-Bu), were prepared by the reduction of a halide of chromium(III), molybdenum(IV), molybdenum(V) or tungsten(VI) with sodium amalgam in the presence of an isocyanide. An X-ray crystallographic study of Mo(2,6-Me 2 C 6 H 3 NC) 6 · C 6 H 6 revealed that the molybdenum atom is approximately octahedrally coordinated by six isocyanide ligands.
