The title compound reacted with p-tolylacetylene at room temperature to give the 32-electron σ:π-bound alkenyl complexes trans-[W2Cp2{μ-κ:η(2)-C(p-tol)CH2}(μ-PCy2)(CO)2] and trans-[W2Cp2{μ-κ:η(2)-CHCH(p-tol)}(μ-PCy2)(CO)2], with the former complex fully rearranging into the latter one after 1 h at 363 K. Both compounds exist in solution as an isomeric equilibrium mixture (rapid on the NMR timescale) involving the alternate π-coordination of the alkenyl ligand to each of the tungsten atoms. In the presence of CO or certain solvents (THF or CH2Cl2) the α-substituted alkenyl complex was transformed instead into the cis-dicarbonyl isomer cis-[W2Cp2{μ-κ:η(2)-C(p-tol)CH2}(μ-PCy2)(CO)2] (W-W = 2.7273(8) Å). In contrast, the β-substituted alkenyl complex reacted with CO to give the saturated tricarbonyl [W2Cp2{μ-κ:η(2)-CHCH(p-tol)}(μ-PCy2)(CO)3], and with excess alkyne (under moderate heating) to yield the alkyne/alkenyl complex [W2Cp2{μ-κ:η(2)-CHCH(p-tol)}(μ-PCy2){η(2)-CHC(p-tol)}(CO)], with both products also displaying a cisoid disposition of the Cp ligands. In contrast, reactions of the title hydride with tert-butylacetylene were significantly slower and led to very air-sensitive compounds, the only isolable product from these reactions being the oxo alkenyl complex trans-[W2Cp2{μ-κ:η(2)-CHCH((t)Bu)}(O)(μ-PCy2)(CO)]. The title hydride reacted with methyl propiolate at room temperature to give selectively the α-substituted alkenyl complex cis-[W2Cp2{μ-κ:η(2)-C(CO2Me)CH2}(μ-PCy2)(CO)2], but yielded instead the dienyl complex [W2Cp2{μ-κ(2):η(3)-CH(CO2Me)CHC(CO2Me)CH}(μ-PCy2)(CO)2] (W-W = 2.944(1) Å) when the reaction was carried out at high temperature (393 K), with the latter generated from an alkenyl/alkyne C-C coupling process. The title hydride also reacted with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate, to give three products mainly depending on the reaction temperature; at moderate temperature (343 K) this reaction led exclusively to the saturated alkenyl complex trans-[W2Cp2{μ-κC,κO:η(2)-C(CO2Me)CH(CO2Me)}(μ-PCy2)(CO)2] (W-W = 2.9329(8) Å), in which the σ:π-bound alkenyl ligand is additionally coordinated through the oxygen atom of the carboxylate group so as to render a O,C:C,C' five-electron coordination mode. At 273 K this reaction led instead to a mixture of the unsaturated alkenyl cis-[W2Cp2{μ-κ:η(2)-C(CO2Me)[double bond, length as m-dash]CH(CO2Me)}(μ-PCy2)(CO)2] and the dienyl complex [W2Cp2{μ-κC,κO:η(2)-C(CO2Me)[double bond, length as m-dash]C(CO2Me)C(CO2Me)[double bond, length as m-dash]CH(CO2Me)}(μ-PCy2)(CO)2] (W-W = 3.0273(6) Å).
