Popis: The carbene-C,N chelate tetracarbonyl tungsten complex [(CO) 4 / W C(Ph)NHC 5 H 4 N -o](4), obtained from [(CO) 5 WC(Ph)OMe] (3) and o-aminopyridine, reacts with iodine by oxidative decarbonylation to give a single isomer of the carbene-C,Nchelate tricarbonyl dihalogeno tungsten(II) complex [(CO) 3 I 2 / W C(Ph)NHC 5 H 4 N -o](5). The analogous reaction of 4 with bromineaffords two interconverting isomers of [(CO) 3 Br 2 / W C(Ph)NHC 5 H 4 N -o](6). The oxidative decarbonylation of the carbene-C,Ochelate tetracarbonyl tungsten complex [(CO) 4 / W C(OMe)C 6 H 4 O Me-o](1) with tetrachloro-o-benzochinone yields the firstcarbene-C,O chelate tricarbonyl-o-benzochinone tungsten(II) complex 8. The structures of 5 and of [(CO) 4 I 2 / W C(OMe)C 6 H 4 OMe-o](2c) were established by X-ray structural analyses. # 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

IntroductionThere are only few examples known of Fischer-typemolybdenum(II) and tungsten(II) carbene carbonylcomplexes not stabilized by aromatic p-ligands [1].In1977, Lappert and Pye reported the synthesis of someLappert-type W(II) complexes with cyclic bisaminocar-bene ligands [2] by oxidation of the corresponding W(0)carbene complexes. However, compared to Fischer-typecarbene ligands, the back-bonding properties of the N-heterocyclic carbene ligands is almost negligible [3].Inaddition, a few compounds of the type [Cl
