Abstract Reactions of complexation of tetraazamacrocycles L with Group 6 metal carbonyls [M(CO)6](M = Cr, Mo, or W) lead to [LM(CO)4], [LM(CO)3] or [LM(CO)2] entities, depending both on the size of the macrocycle and on the metal M. The structure of one representative complex [(permethylcyclam)Mo(CO)4] has been determined by X-ray diffraction (permethylcyclam: 1,4,8,11-tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane).
