Many early transition metal complexes are sensitive to H2O. We earlier reported our studies of the reactions between water and alkyl alkylidyne complexes (Me3CCH2)3W=CEMe3 (E = Si, 1;1 C, 22). Recently, Levy and coworkers reported that the alkoxide alkylidyne (Me3CO)3W=CCMe3 (3) decomposes upon contact with water, and several organic products were identified from the GC-MS analysis of the volatiles.3 We have studied the reaction of d0 3 with H2O in organic solvents and identified tungsten-containing products. The results will be presented.1. Dougan, B. A.; Xue, Z.-L. Sci. China Chem. 2011, 54, 1903.2. Morton, L. A.; Miao, M.; Callaway, T. M.; Chen, T.; Chen, S.-J.; Tuinman, A.
