Tungsten(VI) complexes with bidentate coordination of the catecholate monoanion. Synthesis of [W(O)Cl3(O,HOC6H4)·O(C2H5)2] and synthesis and crystal structure of [W(O)Cl(O2C6H4)(O,HOC6H4)·O(C2H5)2]
摘要:
Monomeric tungsten complexes with catechol coordinated bidentately as the monoanion [1,2-O,OH-C6H4]- have been prepared by reacting WOCl4 with catechol in diethyl ether solution. One equivalent of catechol leads to the formation of [W(O)Cl3(O, HO-C6H4).O(C2H5)2], while two equivalents of catechol leads to the formation of [W(O)Cl(O2-C6H4)(O,HO-C6H4).O(C2H5)2], for which the crystal structure has been determined. In the complex the tungsten atom is octahedrally coordinated to one oxo ligand [d(W-O) = 1.65(2) angstrom], one chloro ligand [d(W-Cl) = 2.325(7) angstrom] and one chelating catecholate dianion, [1,2-O2-C6H4]2- [d(W-O) = 1.91(1) angstrom and 1.95(1) angstrom], in a plane almost perpendicular to the tungsten oxo bond. A chelating catechol monoanion, [1,2-O,OH-C6H4]-, with the negatively charged oxygen atom [d(W-O) = 1.89(1) angstrom] trans to a catecholate oxygen atom and the hydroxy oxygen atom trans to the oxo ligand [d(W-O) = 2.35(2) angstrom], completes the inner coordination sphere. A diethyl ether molecule is strongly hydrogen-bonded to the hydroxy group with a short distance of 2.51(2) angstrom between the ether oxygen atom and the hydroxy oxygen atom.
