Abstract: | In ethereal solutions, WSCl4 and 4 equiv LiOR (R = But or Pri) react to form compounds of formula W(S)(OR)4. A single-crystal X-ray diffraction study of W(S)(O-But)4 showed it to have a square-based pyramidal geometry with an apical sulfide ligand. Pertinent bond distances (Å) and angles (°) are: WS = 2.1396(13), WO(av.) = 1.886(3), SWO(av.) = 105.09(10), WOC(av.) = 143.47(27). The tert-butoxide compound is stable toward sulfur atom abstraction by phosphines, and neither compound has shown any tendency to undergo comproportionations with W2(OR)6 (R = Pri or CH2But) species to form compounds of formula W3(μ3-S)(OR)10, in direct contrast to analogous molybdenum and tungsten oxo alkoxides. |
