Abstract

The action of PhI·Cl2 on W2Cl4(PMe3)4 in 1:1 mole ratio gives brown 1,3,6-W2Cl5(PMe3)3. The EPR at 10 K in frozen CH2Cl2 solution has a broad signal at g = 1.83. The molecular structure was determined by X-ray crystallography and shows a W-W distance of 2.291(1) Å, about 0.03 Å longer than that in W2Cl4(PMe3)4 Crystal data: monoclinic space group C2/c with cell dimensions of a = 13.423(2) Å, b = 12.0768(9) Å, c = 28.247(5) Å,β = 93.360(7)°, V = 4571(1) Å3, and Z = 8. There is a 1.8% orientational disorder. When a solution of W2Cl6(PMe3)4 in CH2Cl2 plus hexanes was allowed to stand at −15 ·C for several months, brown crystals of [HPMe3]2[W2Cl8(PMe3)CH2Cl2 were obtained. The anion is a face-sharing bioctahedron, with a W-W bond length of 2.433(1) Å. Crystal data: monoclinic space group P21lm with cell dimensions of a = 9.398(1) Å,b = 9.836(2) Å, c = 16.687(5) Å, β = 97.78(2)°, V = 1528.4(6) Å3, and Z = 2.
