Abstract

The x-ray crystal structure of the complex η2-PDOW(CO)4 (five-membered ring, PDO = 2, 2, 4, 7, 7-pentamethyl-3,6-dithiaoctane) is reported. The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system, space group P21/c, [#14] with unit cell parameters a = 14.002(14) Å, b = 9.340(10) Å, c = 15.094(12) Å, β = 92.67(4)°, V = 1972(3) Å3; Z = 4. The arrangement of the ligands around the metal atom is distorted from octahedral geometry. Large C–O bond distances and short W–C bond distances of the carbonyl groups located at a trans position with respect to PDO is indicative of a trans influence. The W–S(1) and W–S(2) bond distances of 2.545(3) and 2.545(2) Å, respectively, are shorter than observed for closely related complexes.

  12. The two W-Cequatorial (trans) have the same bond distances (1.940(12), 1.95(2) Å), and the two W-Caxial (cis) also have the same bond distances of 2.04(2) Å. The same is true for for the C-O bond distances (Table 3).

  17. It has been suggested that PEt3 is mainly a σ-donor, without π-acceptor capability, based on the observation of short Cr-C bond distances and long C-O bond distances in the complex fac-Cr(CO)3(PEt3)3. Holladay, A.; Churchill, M.R.; Wang, A.; Atwood, J.D. Inorg. Chem. 1980, 19, 2195.
