Photolysis of W(CO)6 in a solution of n-heptane containing GeCl4 leads to the formation of two seven-coordinate compounds with direct WGe bonds: [(CO)4W(μ-Cl)3W(GeCl3)(CO)3] (1) and [(μ-GeCl2){W(CO)5}2] (2). The molecular structures of these two tungsten–germanium compounds have been established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The germyl compound 1 is a previously synthesized binuclear complex of tungsten(II) with a d4 electronic configuration, while in the new germylene compound 2 the tungsten atom is formally in the zero oxidation state with a d6 electronic configuration and a direct WW bond. In an attempt to establish whether compounds 1 and 2 could be used as precatalysts for the ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of cyclic olefins, their reactivity towards norbornene has been studied. In chloroform-d1 solution the ROMP reaction is accompanied by the formation of a new olefin, 2,2′-binorbornylidene (bi-(NBE)), as a result of carbene–carbene coupling. In reaction of norbornene carried out in benzene solution the ROMP reaction is accompanied by the formation of 2-phenylnorbornane (hydroarylation product) and small amounts of bi-(NBE). In general, in the presence of olefin, compound 2 undergoes rearrangement to give an olefin compound of the type [(WCO)5(η2-olefin)].
