Several Group VI tetracarbonyl phosphine and tertiary amine complexes [M(CO)4 L2, M = Cr, Mo, W, L2 = 2PPh 3, dppm, dppe, dppp, dppb, bpy, phen, dppf] were synthesized in minutes in the microwave at moderate temperature, atmospheric pressure, and utilizing NaBH4 as a catalyst. The reactions were optimized by careful solvent selection. The octahedral complexes were isolated in percent yields ranging from 17 to 95. The lower temperatures, shorter reaction times, benign solvents, and lower pressures as compared to the traditional thermal syntheses provide a rapid, eco-friendly synthetic route to these common Group VI complexes.

The microwave-assisted synthesis of a series of compounds of the form ML(CO)4 (M = Cr, Mo, W; L = en, bipy, dppm, dppe), results in the reduction of reaction times and an increase in yields over previously published syntheses. Reaction times are reduced by a factor of 5 to over 500.

The thermal substitution kinetics of norbornadiene (NBD) by bis(diphenylphosphino)alkanes (PP), (C6H5)2P(CH2)nP(C 6H5)2 (n=1, 2, 3) in M(CO)4(η2:2-NBD) complexes (M=Cr, Mo, W), were studied by quantitative FT-IR spectroscopy. The reaction rate exhibits first-order dependence on the concentration of the starting complex, and the observed rate constant depends on the concentration of the leaving NBD ligand and on the concentration and the nature of the entering PP ligand. In the proposed mechanism there are two competing initial steps: an associative reaction involving the attachment of the entering PP ligand to the transition metal center and a dissociative reaction involving the stepwise detachment of the diolefin ligand from the transition metal center. A rate law is derived from the proposed mechanism. The activation parameters are obtained from the evaluation of the kinetic data. It is found that at higher concentrations of the entering ligand, the associative path is dominant, while at lower concentrations the contribution of the dissociative path becomes significant. Both the observed rate constant and the activation parameters show noticeable variation with the chain length of the diphosphine ligand.
