3a-dη5-Thiacyclohexadienyl-1-oxide chromium complexes are generated by treatment of the 1-methyl-thiabenzene-1-oxide complexes 1a-d with Li[BHEt3] and successive nitrosylation of the intermediates 2a-d. 3a-d react with Me2S(O) = CH2 or Ph3P=CH2 at a carbonyl ligand in an additon/transylidation process to yield the very sensitive products 5, 6a-d.

The highly electron-deficient cyanocarbons tetracyanoethene (tcne) and, to a lesser extent, tetracyanoquinodimethane (tcnq), display a fascinating chemistry with transition metal substrates. In particular, the [2 + 2]-cycloadditions of the cyanocarbons with alkynyl- or poly-ynyl–metal complexes have been extensively studied by the author’s group. These reactions proceed via polar adducts to give σ-cyclobutenyl complexes, which then undergo facile ring-opening (retro-electrocyclic) reactions to form the corresponding butadienyl derivatives. In some cases, further reactions can occur by displacement of weakly bound ligands from the metal centre. The subsequent chemistry of these derivatives has been only cursorily investigated, while related studies of organic analogues have produced molecules with interesting electronic and optical properties.

The organometallic chemistry of metal complexes with organocyclic ligands of higher than five hapticity is much more lacking than the chemistry of metal complexes with η5-cyclopentadienyl ligands, which has been explored in considerable depth, resulting in novel advances. The main reason for this is stability. In particular, reports indicate that (η7-C7H7)MLn complexes are considerably less stable than analogous (η5-C5H5)MLn. In perfluoroalkyl metal chemistry, there is currently no reported (η7-C7H7)MLn derivative, whereas a number of alkylated ones are known and important conclusions have been drawn about their stability. Responding to this void, and using Morrison’s trifluoromethylating reagent, the present study reports the synthesis and characterization of the first cycloheptatrienyl molybdenum complexes bearing the trifluoromethyl moiety; (η7-C7H7)Mo(CO)2CF3 (I), and (η7-C7H7)Mo(CO)(PMe3)CF3 (II) and discusses their low thermal instability.

Development of organometallic chemistry in the past half century is reviewed from the author's personal viewpoint with focus on the establishment of fundamental concepts relevant to catalysis. Further development in the coming century is expected in view of the diversity of transition-metal complexes and their unique properties.
