The bond lengths and angles in the title compound, [W(C5H5)(C4H7O2)(CO)3], are as expected for a molecule of this kind. The presence of the carboxylic acid group leads, however, to the creation of hydrogen-bonded dimers consisting of pairs of centrosymmetrically related molecules.
Comment
The determination of the structure of the title compound, (I), was undertaken as part of our ongoing study of the chemistry of heterodinuclear compounds (Friedrich et al., 2004). Fig. 1 is a drawing of the molecule and selected bond lengths and angles are given in Table 1. In both cases, the participation of the cyclopentadienyl (Cp) group in the coordination of W is represented, purely for convenience, by the notional bond W—Cg1 where Cg1 is the centroid of the five-membered cyclopentadienyl ring. On this basis, W is effectively five-coordinate in a distorted square-pyramidal environment with apical Cp. This arrangement creates the appearance of a stool with Cp as its seat and the three carbonyl groups and the carboxy ligand as its feet, four in number.
The bond lengths and angles given in Table 1 are unremarkable. The same is true for the W—CCp bonds in the range 2.312 (4)–2.376 (4) Å and the C—C bonds and C—C—C angles of Cp in the ranges 1.385 (7)–1.431 (7) Å and 107.3 (5)–108.4 (5)°, respectively. In the drawing of the unit-cell contents (Fig. 2) a notable feature is the presence of the hydrogen-bonded dimer involving a pair of centrosymmetrically related molecules. The hydrogen-bond parameters are given in Table 2. No other intermolecular contacts of any significance, other than van der Waals interactions, are present in the structure. Similar hydrogen-bonded dimers are present in the structures of the analogous compounds [Cp(CO)3MoCH2COOH] and [Cp(CO)2FeCH2COOH] (Ariyaratne et al., 1969). Despite the limited quality of the refinements, these authors suggested that there was evidence to support some form of interaction between the metal (Mo or Fe) and the carboxylic acid group. There is no evidence for such an interaction in (I), which would be less likely in any case because of the length of the alkyl chain. There is perhaps a case for redetermining the earlier structures.
Experimental
Compound (I) was obtained by hydrolysis brought about by the presence of water in a dichloromethane/hexane solution of [Cp(CO)3W(CH2)3C(O)Mo(CO)(PMe3)(PPh3)Cp] (Onani, 2002). Yellow crystals suitable for analysis were obtained after 5 d of slow diffusion of hexane into a dichloromethane solution of (I) kept at 278 K.

Presented here is a rerefinement, after suitable transformation of the unit-cell parameters and the atomic coordinates and reindexing of the intensity data, of a structure previously solved and fully refined in the P. The need for the rerefinement was clearly indicated by a checkCIF level A alert and the form it should take was revealed by recourse to the ADDSYM routine of PLATON (Spek, 2003). Close examination of a drawing of the content of the original, supposedly triclinic, fully confirmed the ADDSYM findings. Further support for the rerefinement reported here is the improvement in R [I > 2σ(I)] from 0.031 for the triclinic model to the value of 0.026 for the present (with the number of refined parameters now half that of the triclinic refinement). In the final stages of the present H atoms were placed in calculated positions, with X—H = 0.82, 0.93 and 0.97 Å for hydroxyl, cyclopentadienyl and methylene H atoms, respectively, and refined using a riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O) or 1.2Ueq(C), as appropriate for the nature of X. The position of the hydroxyl group in terms of its rotation about the C—O bond was also refined. The highest residual electron-density peak is 0.99 Å from atom W1.The deepest residual electron-density hole lies 0.69 Å from atom W1.

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. Distance (1 entry) and angles (4 entries) involving Cg1 (the centroid of the cyclopentadienyl ring) have been entered by hand into the relevant sections of the cif for ease of reference.

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. H atoms placed in calculated positions with X—H 0.82, 0.93 and 0.97 A for hydroxyl, cyclopentadienyl and methylene H, respectively, and refined with a riding model with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O) or 1.2Ueq(C) as appropriate for the nature of X. The position of the hydroxyl group in terms of its rotation about the C—O bond was also refined. |
