Abstract

The seven-coordinate tungsten(VI) complexes, [WOCl4{o-C6H4(EMe2)2}] and [WSCl4{o-C6H4(EMe2)2}] (E = P, As), have been prepared by reaction of WOCl4 or WSCl4 with the ligands in anhydrous CH2Cl2 or toluene, and fully characterised by microanalysis, IR, 1H and 31P{1H} NMR spectroscopy. The X-ray crystal structures of [WOCl4{o-C6H4(AsMe2)2}] and [WSCl4{o-C6H4(PMe2)2}] have been determined and revealed pentagonal bipyramidal geometries with axial O/Cl or S/Cl. Attempts to isolate similar complexes with o-C6H4(PPh2)2, PMe3 or AsEt3 were unsuccessful, due to facile reduction of the tungsten centre. Several reduction products have also been identified crystallographically, including the tungsten(V) species, [WOCl3{o-C6H4(PMe2)2}], WOCl3{o-C6H4(PMe2)(P(O)Me2)}] and [WCl4{o-C6H4(PPh2)2}2][WCl6].
