Benzyltriethylammonium chloropentacarbonylmolybdate (1) and chloropentacarbonyl-tungstate (2) complexes react with CF3SO3Ag in DME via a combination of chloride exchange and a redox process, as revealed by cyclic voltammetry and ESR spectrometry. The resulting intermediate M(I) species disproportionate to M(0) and M(II) so that 3 equiv of TfOAg are required for the quantitative conversion into the M(II) complex. Analogous PPN complexes 3 and 4 only undergo the redox process (in DME); in this instance, the chloride exchange is precluded, presumably due to strong pairing of the complex anion with the counterion.
Selective reduction of acyl chlorides to aldehydes by anionic 6B transition-metal hydrides

Acyl chlorides can be selectively and rapidly reduced, under mild conditions, by group 6B anionic hydrides, HM(CO)4L- (M = Cr, W; L = CO, PR3), giving the corresponding aldehydes and the metal chlorides CIM(CO)4L-. The reaction is nearly quantitative for both aliphatic and aromatic acyl chlorides using solvent systems such as dichloromethane, tetrahydrofuran, or acetonitrile. Only in the presence of acid will the aldehydes consume a second equivalent of hydride, subsequently being reduced to alcohols. The anionic hydrides selectively reduce acyl chlorides in the presence of other reducible groups such as alkyl bromides or nitro aromatics. In situ preexchange of hydrogen by deuterium (HM(CO)4L-/ CH3OD → DM(CO)4L-/CH3OH) allows for deuterium delivery, giving RCDO products, as indicated by 2H NMR.
