Cl-bis[1(
5)-cyclopentadienyl][
-oxido(phenyl)methylene-1:2
2O:C]hafnium(IV)tungsten(0)The title compound, [HfW(C5H5)2(C7H5O)Cl(CO)5] or [W(CO)5(C7H5O){Hf(C5H5)2Cl}], contains two metal centres, with a (tungstenpentacarbonyl)oxyphenylcarbene unit coordinated to a hafnocene chloride. The Hf-O-C angle is nearly linear, and the C=O distance is slightly shorter than for equivalent alkoxycarbenes. One of the cyclopentadienyl (Cp) rings undergoes an offset face-to-face
-
interaction [3.495 (7) Å] with the symmetry-related Cp ring of a neighbouring molecule.
A solution of LiCH3 (31 ml, 1.6M) in diethylether (50 ml) was added to a well stirred suspension of W(CO)6 (17.802 g) in diethylether (100 ml). After solvent removal, dissolution of the residue in cold water (150 ml) and filtration, a solution of Et4NCl (8.721 g) in cold water (50 ml) was added to the filtrate. Upon further filtration 0.740 g of the product {[W(CO)5C(C6H5)O][NEt4]} was dissolved in dichloromethane (70 ml) and added to a solution of Cp2HfCl2 (0.505 g) in dichloromethane (40 ml). After stirring for 30 min at -40°C AgBF4 (0.261 g) was added. The solvent was removed and the residue extracted in 5 portions of 10 ml toluene. The extract was cooled to -40°C and filtered. The filtrate was dried over anhydrous MgSO4, concentrated to saturation, and kept at -6°C, whereupon red crystals of the title compound suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis were obtained in 19% yield.
H atoms were positioned geometrically with C—H = 0.95 Å and constrained to ride on their parent atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). The maximum and minimum residual electron density peaks were located 0.93 and 0.83 Å, respectively from the Hf1 and W1 atoms.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Anionic Fischer-type carbene ligands, prepared by the standard addition of organolithium compounds to metal carbonyls, act as monodentate ligands towards transition metals like Ti and Zr (Barluenga and Fañanás, 2000). When the second metal unit is a zirconocene moiety, Cp2ZrCl, then such complexes have been proven to catalyse the oligomerization of 1-pentene in the presence of methylaluminoxane, MAO (Brüll et al., 2001). Herein, we report the Hf equivalent of these zirconocene alkoxycarbene complexes.
In the title compound, (I, Fig. 1), the W=Ccarbene and Ccarbene—C distances are similar to those found in alkoxycarbene complexes, whereas the C—O distance is shorter [2.16 (1), 1.50 (3) and 1.47 (2) Å, respectively; Orpen et al., 1989]. The Hf—O distance is also shorter than those in the metallocyclic compounds C26H27HfO5V [2.063 (3) Å; Erker et al., 1991] and C28H29HfO5V [2.066 (3) Å; Berlekamp et al., 1993]. The Hf—O—C angle is nearly linear, with a larger value [171.4 (3)°] than the equivalent Hf—O—C angles of 163.6 (3) and 169.0 (3)° in C26H27HfO5V (Erker et al., 1991) and C28H29HfO5V (Berlekamp et al., 1993), respectively, as well as the Zr—O—C angle of 166.1 (5)° in W(CO)5C(C6H5)OZr(C5H5)2OC6H5 (Erker et al., 1989).
The C21/C22/C23/C24/C25 Cp ring [with centroid Cg(1)] undergoes offset face-to-face π–π interactions with the symmetry related Cp ring on a neighbouring molecule [Cg(1)···Cg(1)i = 3.495 (7) Å; Symmetry code: (i) 1 - x, 2 - y, 1 - z)].
