Photochemical reactions of metal carbonyls [M(CO)(6) (M=Cr, Mo, W)] with N,N '-bis(salicylidene)-1,2-bis-(o-aminophenoxy)ethane

WOS: 000242715800004The complexes [M(CO)(4)(eta(2)-H2L)][M Cr; 1, Mo; 2, W; 3] have been synthesized by photochemical reactions of VIB metal carbonyls [M(CO)(6)] [M Cr, Mo, W] with N, N'-bis(salicylidene)-1,2-bis-(o-aminophenoxy) ethane (H2L) in THF and characterized by elemental analyses, FTIR, (HNMR)-H-1 and mass spectra. The H2L ligand is coordinated to the central metal as a bidentate ligand via the central azomethine nitrogen atoms in 1-3
