Synthese und Kristallstruktur des dreikernigen μ-Nitridokomplexes (PPh4)2[W3N2Cl14] · CCl4 · CH2Cl2/ Synthesis and Crystal Structure of the Trinuclear μ-Nitrido Complex (PPh4)2[W3N2Cl14] · CCl4 · CH2Cl2
AbstractThe title compound results from a slow reaction between two m oles of PPh4[W2NCl10], dissolved in dichlorom ethane, upon addition of carbon tetrachloride. The red crystals are characterized by X-ray diffraction. (PPh4)2[W3N2Cl14] · CCl4 · CH2Cl2 crystallizes triclinically in the space group P1̄ with two formula units per unit cell. The cell dimensions at -100 °C are: a = 1430, b = 1462, c = 1655 pm , α = 74.6°, β = 79.0°, γ = 82.4° (10,908 independent, observed reflexions, R = 0.078). The structure consists of PPh4⊕ ions, trinuclear finitrido anions [W3N2Cl14]2⊝ and enclosed molecules of CCl4 and CH2Cl2. The tungsten atom s of the anion are linked by almost linear nitrido bridges (~176°) with different WN bond lengths (mean values 184 pm and 207 pm ), corresponding to double and single bonds. The equatorial WCl4 groups are in eclipsed conformation; the two chlorine atoms in trans-position to the nitrido groups have mean bond lengths of 240 pm which is 9 pm longer than the equatorial W -Cl bonds. The IR spectrum is reported.
