Similarly, kinetic stabilisation appearto be lacking in the tungsten(-II) complex [Li(tmed)]3[WH(C2H4)4] (tmed= N,N,N',N' -tetramethylethylenediamine)[53]. This complex, synthesised by alkylation of WCl3 (OMe)3 with nine equivalents of LiEt in diethyl ether at -78 องศา , is stabilised by tungsten's ability to accept electrons with its empty d-orbitals resulting in the fulfilment of the 18-electron rule.
