The d2/d3 alkyne redox pair [WF2(PhC identical to CPh)Tp']z (z = +1 or 0): missing links in a 'redox family tree'.
The d2/d3 redox pair [WF2(PhC identical to CPh)Tp']z [z = +1 or 0, Tp' = hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate] is the missing link in a 'redox family tree' relating the d6 tricarbonyls [M(CO)3L]- to the d2 trihalides [MX3L] (M = Mo or W, L = Cp or Tp') by a series of stepwise reactions involving sequential one-electron oxidation followed by ligand substitution.
