MM Quadruply Bonded Complexes Supported by Vinylbenzoate Ligands: Synthesis, Characterization, Photophysical Properties and Application as Synthons.

ABSTRACT: From the reactions between M₂(T ⁱ PB)₄ compounds and meta and para - vinylbenzoic acids (2 equiv) in toluene at room temperature the compounds trans-M₂(T ⁱ PB)₂L₂, where L = m-vinylbenzoate 1A (M = Mo) and 1B (M = W) and T ⁱ PB = 2,4,6-triisopropylbenzoate, and where L = p-vinylbenzoate 2A (M = Mo) and 2B (M = W) have been isolated. Compounds 1A and 2A have been shown to undergo Heck carbon-carbon coupling reactions with phenyliodide to produce trans-Mo₂(T ⁱ PB)₂(O₂CC₆H₄-m-CH=CH-C₆H₅)_2,
