The organometallic substituted Keggin polyoxoanions (/eta//sup 5//minus/C/sub 5/(CH/sub 3/)/sub 5/)MPW /sub 11/O/sub 39/((n/minus/C/sub 4/H/sub 9/)/sub 4/N)/sub 4/, M = Ti(1), Zr(2), or HF(3), were prepared by reaction of (/eta//sup 5//minus/C/sub 5/(CH/sub 3/)/sub 5/)MCl/sub 3/ with the lacunary Keggin heteropolyanion ..cap alpha../minus/H/sub 3/PW/sub 11/O/sub 39/((n/minus/C/sub 4/H/sub 9/)/sub 4/N)/sub 4/. Infrared data indicated that complexes 2 and 3 have a normal Keggin structure however complex 1 has a distorted structure. Based-assisted hydrolysis of (/eta//sup 5//minus/C/sub 5/(CH/sub 3/)/sub 5/)MCl/sub 3/, M = Zr or Hf in THF solution gave /(/eta//sup 5//minus/C/sub 5/(CH/sub 3/)/sub 5/)MCl//sub 3/O(OH)/sub 3/Cl, M = Zr(4) or Hf(5), and /(/eta//sup 5//minus/C/sub 5/(CH /sub 3/)/sub 5/)MCl//sub 3/O(OH)/sub 4/, M = Zr(6) or Hf(7). The crystal structure of 6, determined by Dr. Victor Day at Crystalytics Company in Lincoln, NB, revealed a trimer of metals capped on one side by an oxygen atom and on the other side by a hydroxyl ligand with the three edges bridged by hydroxyl ligands. The hydrolysis of (/eta//sup 5//minus/C/sub 5/(CH/sub 3/)/sub 5/)TiCl/sub 3/ resulted in the formation of a six membered titanium oxygen ring /(/eta//sup 5//minus/C/sub 5/(CH/sub 3/)/sub 5/)TiClO//sub 3/, 8. Hydrolysis in the presence of base has produced a tetrameric ligand stabilized titanoxane complex, /(/eta//sup 5//minus/C/sub 5/(CH/sub 3/)/sub 5/)Ti//sub 4/O/sub 6/, 9. 140 refs., 20 figs., 7 tabs.
