Reaction of ammonium thiocyanate with dihalocarbonyls of molybdenum and tungsten(11) leads to the elimination of ammonium chloride and the formation of a dithiocyanatocarbonyl complex of the transition metal. Although the thiocyanatocarbonyls themselves have not been isolated in a pure state, a number of substituted derivatives with phosphorus donor ligands have been prepared and characterized. In general these complexes are less stable than the corresponding carbonyl halide derivatives.

Dibromotetracarbonylmolybdenum, Mo(CO)4Br2, and the dihalotetracarbonyltungsten compounds, W(CO)4X2 (where X = Cl, Br), have been isolated and characterized. These highly reactive compounds are all diamagnetic. The trihalotetracarbonyl anions [M(CO)4X3]- (M = Mo, W) have been isolated as their tetraethylammonium salts from the parent halocarbonyls. These yellow diamagnetic compounds are the first tetracarbonyl derivatives to be prepared from the parent halocarbonyls.
