Abstract

Reaction of [W{double bond, long}NAr(CH2tBu)2({double bond, long}CHtBu)] (Ar = 2,6-iPrC6H3) with silica partially dehydoxylated at 200 °C does not lead only to the expected bisgrafted [({triple bond, long}SiO)2W{double bond, long}NAr({double bond, long}CHtBu)] species, but also surface reaction intermediates such as [({triple bond, long}SiO)2W{double bond, long}NAr(CH2tBu)2]. All these species were characterized by infrared spectroscopy, 1D and 2D solid state NMR, elemental analysis and molecular models obtained by using silsesquioxanes. While a mixture of several surface species, the resulting material displays high activity in the olefin metathesis.
