Dicarbonyl and tricarbonyl adducts of (W {triple_bond} V W){sup 6+}- containing complexes. Preparation and structures of W{sub 2}(OCMe{sub 2}CF{sub 3}){sub 6}(CO){sub 2} and W{sub 2}(OCMe(CF{sub 3}){sub 2}){sub 4}(NMe{sub 2}){sub 2}(CO){sub 3}

Carbon monoxide adds reversibly to W{sub 2}(OR){sub 6} compounds to give W{sub 2}(OR)6(CO){sub 2} complexes (R = Si{sup t}BuMe{sub 2}, 1; CMe{sub 2}CF{sub 3}, 2; 2,6-Me{sub 2}C{sub 6}H{sub 3}, 3) wherein the CO ligands bond to alternate tungsten atoms in a manner that allows mixing of WW {pi} and W d{pi} to CO {pi}{sup *} bonding. In contrast to the homoleptic alkoxides above, the mixed amido-alkoxide complex W{sub 2}(OCMe(CF{sub 3}){sub 2}){sub 4}(NMe{sub 2}){sub 2} (4), which also takes up 2 equiv of CO, reacts further to give W{sub 2}(OCMe(CF{sub 3}){sub 2}){sub 4}(NMe{sub 2}){sub 2}(CO){sub 3} (6), which has an unusual structure wherein three CO ligands are bonded to a single tungsten atom and the W-W bond is supported by one NMe{sub 2} bridge. The formation of 6 is also reversible. 2 and 6 have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography, and all compounds have been characterized by {sup 1}H and {sup 13}[C{sup 1}H]C NMR spectroscopy. The results are compared to earlier studies of the addition of CO to M{sub 2}(OR){sub 6} complexes such as W{sub 2}(O{sup t}Bu){sub 6}, which give bridged monocarbonyl adducts, and that of Wolczanski et al. 12 refs., 2 figs., 6 tabs.
