Abstract: | The reaction of the donor-stabilized silylene complex cis-Cp1(CO)2(H)WSiHPh · THF (3, Cp1 = η5-C5Me5) with LiAlH4 followed by the protonation of the resulting Li[Cp1(CO)2W(H)(SiH2Ph)] (4) with excess CF3COOH afforded the trihydride complex Cp1(CO)2WH3 (6). The structure of 6 was characterized using variable-temperature NMR studies and X-ray crystal analysis. Deprotonation of 6 with KH gave the anionic dihydride complex K[Cp1(CO)2WH2] (7), which was converted into the dichlorosilyl dihydride complex Cp1(CO)2W(H)2(SiHCl2) (8) on treatment with trichlorosilane. The X-ray crystal analysis of 8 revealed that it adopts a distorted pseudo-octahedral structure with a short W–Si bond, long Si–Cl bonds, and short contacts between the hydrides and silicon atom. Along with these structural features, the conformation of the silyl ligand around the W–Si bond may suggest the presence of a double interligand hypervalent interaction between the dichlorosilyl and hydrides ligands. |
