Tetracarbonyl group 6B metal complexes of a N-(4-acetylphenyl)-N-(diphenylphosphino)amine ligand. Molecular structure of cis-[Cr(CO)4{4-CH3CO–C6H4-1-N(PPh2)2}]

Chemical reactions of N-(4-acetylphenyl)-N-(diphenylphosphino)amine ligand (1) with three group 6B metal hexacarbonyls produced cis-M(CO)4[1-k2P,P][ M = Cr(2), Mo(3), W(4)], respectively. The novel complexes 2–4 were isolated and their structures were elucidated by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy (1H, 13C, 31P NMR) and elemental analysis. Crystal-structure determination using single-crystal X-ray diffraction was carried out on complex 2
