Colorless, diamagnetic, air-stable LW VI O 2 (OH) [L ) hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)borate] forms when suspensions of LW II I(CO) 3 in dimethyl sulfoxide are heated at 100 °C. The complex was characterized by microanalysis, high-resolution mass spectrometry, and IR, NMR, and EXAFS spectroscopic techniques. The complex behaves as a weak acid with a pK a of around 4.7. Reaction of LWO 2 (OH) with NEt 4 OMe results in the formation of colorless, diamagnetic, air-stable NEt 4 [LW VI O 3 ], which crystallizes as a tetrahydrate. Crystals of NEt 4 [LWO 3 ]‚4H 2 O are monoclinic, space group P2 1 /c, with a ) 18.804(4) Å, b ) 9.901(8) Å, c ) 17.447(3) Å, β ) 104.35(2)°, and V ) 3146(1) Å 3 for Z ) 4. The structure is composed of discrete NEt 4 + and fac-[LWO 3 ]ions strung in an alternating fashion along both sides of a zigzag ladder of hydrogen-bonded water molecules (directed parallel to the b axis). The distorted-octahedral [LWO 3 ] -anions, with W-O(1) ) 1.740(4) Å, W-O(2) ) 1.759(4) Å, and W-O(3) ) 1.765(4) Å, are hydrogen-bonded to water molecules through two oxo groups, with WO(2)‚‚O(5) i ) 2.666(6) Å and WO(3)‚‚O(4) ii ) 2.693(6) Å. The EXAFS spectra of NEt 4 [LWO 3 ]‚4H 2 O and LWO 2 (OH) and related complexes are diagnostic of the respective trioxo or hydroxo-dioxo centers present. Colorless, diamagnetic, air-stable [LW VI O 2 ] 2 (µ-O) is produced in a number of reactions, including the oxidation of LW VI O 2 (µ-O)W IV O(CO)L and metathesis reactions involving LW VI O 2 Cl. The complex exhibits NMR spectra consistent with molecular C 2 symmetry and IR bands assignable to ν(WO 2 ) (945 and 900 cm -1 ) and ν as (WOW) (780 cm -1 ) vibrational modes. Crystals of [LW VI O 2 ] 2 (µ-O) are monoclinic, space group C2/c, with a ) 28.112-(7) Å, b ) 9.538(7) Å, c ) 15.722(8) Å, β ) 115.56(2)°, and V ) 3802(3) Å 3 for Z ) 4. The dinuclear structure is composed of distorted-octahedral LWO 2 units linked by the µ-oxo ligand; the terminal WdO bond lengths are identical at 1.715(5) Å, while the bridging W-O(3) distance is 1.893(1) Å.
