Tris(tetraethylammonium) [mu]-3-hydroxypropanolato-di-[mu]-methoxo-bis[tricarbonyltungsten(0)]

K. K. Klausmeyer and R. A. Adrian

Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, (C8H20N)3[W2(CH3O)2(C3H7O2)(CO)6], obtained from a ligand substitution reaction of (Et4N)3[W2(OMe)3(CO)6], the trianion sits across a mirror plane such that one W(CO)3 group is unique and the two methoxy groups and all but the middle C atom of the 3-hydroxypropanolate ligand lie on the mirror plane. One and a half molecules of the tetraethylammonium cation are present to balance the charge in the asymmetric unit. The half molecule is situated with its N atom on a mirror plane and is disordered.
