Synthesis, reactivity, and computational studies of the cationic tungsten methyl complex [W(NPh)(N2Npy)Me](+) and related compounds (N2Npy = MeC(2-C5H4N)(CH2NSiMe3)(2))

The synthesis and structure of neutral and cationic tungsten methyl complex was analyzed. The site preferences for the imido and methyl ligands in 2+ and related species were rationalized in terms of π-bonding preferences modified by steric influences. Inclusion of the steric bulk of the silicon man...
