Formation of a 1-azaallenylidene ligand by reaction of an amido complex with tetracyanoethylene
Amido complexes of Mo(II) allyl carbonyl. fragments containing monodentate amido ligands, prepared by reaction of suitable chloro precursors with potassium amides, react (for the N(H)(p-tolyl) derivative) with tetracyanoethylene to give a 1-azaallenylidene complex.
