N2  - Substituted carbonyls of the type (arene)M(CO)3 (M = Mo, W) react with iodine to yield compounds containing the cation [(arene)M(CO)3I]+. X-ray structure analysis shows the [(hexamethylbenzene)W(CO)3I]+ species to possess approximate Cs symmetry. It is unstable in solution and reaction with bipyridyl and triphenyl-phosphine offers a new route to derivatives of the type W(bipyridyl)2(CO)3I2 and W(PPh3)2(CO)3I2.
