Metal-formaldehyde complexes are is a coordination complex wherein a η2-CH2O ligand is formed. This type of ligand has been reported in both monometallic and bimetallic complexes.

History

This type of complex has been reported for W (vide supra), Os[1], V[2], Re[3], Zr[4][5][6], Ru[7], and Nb[8].

In 1984, Green and coworkers reported the yellow crystalline solid W(PMe3)4(η2-CH2O)H2. It was the result of the addition of methanol to W(PMe3)4(η2-CH2PMe2)H. W(PMe3)4(η2-CH2O)H2 can be hydrogenated to give W(PMe3)4(MeO)H3, and then further hydrogenated to reform methanol and generate W(PMe3)4H4.[9] In 1986, Green and Parkin demonstrated further reactivities of W(PMe3)4(η2-CH2O)H2. Upon addition of CO or CO2, W(PMe3)4(η2-CH2O)H2 produces fac-W(PMe3)3(CO)3 and W(PMe3)4(κ2-O2CO)H2, respectively, much like its precursor. W(PMe3)4(η2-CH2O)H2 also reacts with buta-1,3-diene to give W(PMe3)3(η2-CH2O)(η-C4H6).[10] W(PMe3)4(η2-CH2O)H2 can also used as a route to further oxometallacycles by the addition of ethylene and rapid cooling to –80°C. The resultant green crystals are composed of W(OCH2CH2CH2)(PMe3)2(η2-C2H4)2, with either both ethylene ligands on the equatorial plane or the ethylene ligand cis-to the ligating oxygen in the axial direction. Further reaction with ethylene produces trans-W(PMe3)4(η2-C2H4)2 and W(PMe3)4(CO)H2.[10]

Reported reactions of W(PMe3)4(η2-CH2O)H2.
