Preparation of trichloro- and tribromocyclopentadienyltungsten(IV)
摘要:
The thermal decarbonylation of (Ring)WX3(CO)(2) in refluxing toluene has led to the preparation of the CO-free compounds [(Ring)WX3](2) [Ring = eta(5)-C5H5 (Cp) and X = Cl (1a) or Br (1b); Ring = eta(5)-C5H4Me (Cp'), X = Cl (2a) or Br (2b); Ring = eta(5)-C5Me5 (Cp*), X = Cl (3)]. The NMR properties of these molecules are consistent with diamagnetism and thereby indicate a different structure from that of the paramagnetic molybdenum analogues. Compounds la and la react with dppe to afford mononuclear 18-electron adducts, (Ring)WCl3(dppe) (Ring = Cp (4) or Cp' (5)). The X-ray structure of 5 shows a pseudo-fac-octahedral geometry with the dppe ligand occupying two equatorial (e.g. cis relative to Cp') coordination sites. The X-ray structure of two by-products of the synthetic processes are also reported, e.g. Cp-3'W3Cl3(mu(2)-Cl)(2)(mu(3)-O) (6) and [Cp*WCl3](2)(mu-O) (7). (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A.

Cyclopentadienyltungsten(IV) chemistry: Synthesis and characterization of (η-ring)WX3(CO)2 (ring C5H5, C5H4Me, C5Me5) and X-ray structure of (η-C5Me5)WBr3(CO)2
摘要:
The W-IV carbonyl compounds [(Ring)WX(3)(CO)(2)](Ring = C5H5, C(5)H(4)Me, C(5)Me(5); X = Cl, Br, I) have been prepared by a one-step oxidation of the corresponding [(Ring)W(CO)(3)](2) with PhICl(2), Br-2 and I-2, respectively, in high yields. The structure of Cp*WBr3(CO)(2) has been elucidated by X-ray methods. It exhibits a distorted, pseudo octahedral arrangement of the Cp*, two CO and three Br ligands in a facial configuration.
