Abstract:
The metallacycles [NPPh(2)NPPh(2)NMCl(3)], M=Mo, W have been studied in CH2Cl2 using cyclic voltammetry. The observed redox potentials indicate that the cyclic pi-base ligand, [NPPh(2)NPPh(2)N](3-), is capable of stabilising high oxidation states in both molybdenum and tungsten complexes. Empirical MO calculations are presented which rationalize the electronic structure of the metallacycles.
