Photochemical interaction of molybdenum and tungsten phosphine hydride complexes with carbon dioxide

UV, IR, and¹H NMR spectra of photoproducts obtained by irradiation of phosphine hydride complexes MH₄L₄ (M = Mo and W; L = PHPh₂, PMePh₂, PEtPh₂, PEt₂Ph, and PBuPh₂) in an atmosphere of CO₂,¹³CO₂, and C¹⁸O₂ have been studied. The photoproducts can be formed due to the insertion of carbon dioxide both into the M-H bond and M-C and M-Ph bonds.Deceased.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.
