title: Template synthesis of tungsten complexes with saturated N-heterocyclic carbene ligands.
abstract: Tungsten complex with a coordinated 2-azidoethyl isocyanide ligand reacts with PMe3 at the azido function to give a complex with a coordinated iminophosphorane which upon hydrolysis of the P=N bond yields a complex with an NH,NH-stabilized N-heterocyclic carbene ligand, 7; alkylation of the carbene ring nitrogen atoms gives a complex with an N,N'-dialkylated imidazolidin-2-ylidene ligand, 8 .
