Abstract: The new ligand, 2-bromo-N, N-Dimethylbenzylamine has been prepared according to scheme 1. The synthesized ligand was further reacted with Mo(CO)6 and W(CO)6 to yield 2-bromo N, N-Dimethylbenzylamine- Mo(CO)5 and 2-bromo N, N-Dimethylbenzylamine-W(CO)5 complexes, respectively. Both the ligand and its complexes were characterized on the basis of physical properties, elemental analysis data, infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. It was found that the ligand has monodentate nature and coordinates with metal through its nitrogen atom thus replacing one CO molecule to maintain the charge density on metal centre.
