The {sup 183}W chemical shifts of a number of organometallic oxo-, sulfido-, and imido-tungsten(VI) complexes have been measured by indirect detection using {sup 1}H({sup 183}W) double-resonance and {sup 1}H({sup 1}H, {sup 183}W) triple-resonance techniques. The shielding trends within a series of ligands, including O{sup 2{minus}}, S{sup 2{minus}}, PhN{sup 2{minus}}, Cl{sup {minus}}, Br{sup {minus}}, {eta}{sup 2}-O{sub 2}{sup 2{minus}}, and {eta}{sup 2}-S{sub 2}{sup 2{minus}}, are discussed with respect to ligand polarizability and bond multiplicity. The tungsten(VI) nuclei become more deshielded with increasing ligand polarizability and bond multiplicity. The {sup 183}W chemical shifts of Cp*W({double bond}O)X{sub 2}Me complexes show an inverse halogen dependence, as expected from relative polarizability arguments. 16 refs., 2 tabs.
