title: Synthesis of a bimetallic platinum-tungsten complex with a bridging micro-diboranyl-oxycarbyne moiety.
abstract: The novel bimetallic micro-diboranyl-oxycarbyne bridged platinum-tungsten complex [W{eta(1),micro-CO-B(NMe(2))-B(NMe(2))-(eta(5)-C(5)H(4))}(CO)(2){Pt(PPh(3))(2)}] (W-Pt) () has been synthesised by a two-step reaction, starting from the dilithiated half-sandwich compound Li[W(eta(5)-C(5)H(4)Li)(CO)(3)] () via the ansa-diboranyl-oxycarbyne tungsten complex [W{eta(1)-CO-B(NMe(2))B(NMe(2))(eta(5)-C(5)H(4))}(OC)(2)] () by use of stoichiometric amounts of B(2)(NMe(2))(2)Br(2) and [Pt(eta(2)-C(2)H(4))(PPh(3))(2)], respectively.
