Darstellung,Schwingungsspektrum und Kristallstruktur von (n‐Bu4N)2[(W6Cl)F] · 2 CH2Cl2 und 19F‐NMR‐spektroskopischer Nachweis der gemischten Clusteranionen [(W6Cl)FCl]2–, n = 1–6

Synthesis, Vibrational Spectra, and Crystal Structure of ( n ‐Bu₄N)₂(W₆Cl )F ] · 2 CH₂Cl₂ and ¹⁹F NMR Spectroscopic Evidence of the Mixed Cluster Anions (W₆Cl )F Cl ]^2–, n = 1–6 The reaction of (n‐Bu₄N)₂(W₆Cl)Cl] with CF₃COOH in dichloromethane gives intermediately a mixture of the cluster anions (W₆Cl)(CF₃COO)Cl]^2–, n = 1–6. By treatment with NH₄F the outer sphere coordinated trifluoracetato ligands are easily substituted and the components of the series (W₆Cl)FCl], n = 1–6 are formed and characterized by their distinct ¹⁹F NMR chemical shifts. An X‐ray structure determination has been performed on a single crystal of (n‐Bu₄N)₂(W₆Cl)F] · 2 CH₂Cl₂ (orthorhombic, space group Pbca, a = 15.628(4), b = 17.656(3), c = 20.687(4) Å, Z = 4). The low temperatur IR (60 K) and Raman (20 K) spectra are assigned by normal coordinate analysis based on the molecular parameters of the X‐ray determination. The valence force constants are f_d(WW) = 1.89, f_d(WF) = 2.43 and f_d(WCl) = 0.93 mdyn/Å.
