Abstract

The gas-phase (electron diffraction) and solid-state (X-ray) structures of W(NBu^t)₂(NHBu^t)₂ (1) have been determined. In the gas phase, 1 adopts both C₁ and C₂ conformations in a 69:31 ratio. The solid-state structure is disordered over two equal sites, both showing approximate C₂ conformation as in the gas phase; the imido and amido centers are, however, clearly distinguished. Compound 1 has been used to synthesize novel heterobimetallic derivatives. W(NBu^t)₄[Rh(COD)]₂ (3) and W(NBu^t)₄[Pd(η³-C₃H₅)]₂ (4) via the dilithiated intermediate Li₂[W(NBu^t)₄] (2). In both cases, the [W(NBu^t)₄] moiety bridges the two organometallic fragments. Reaction of 1 with Me₂Zn has produced [Me(Bu^tN))W(μ-NBu^t)₂ZnMe(NH₂Bu^t)] (5). The structures of 3, 4, and 5 have been determined. Thermal decomposition of 4 under an autogenerated pressure at 700 °C has formed the hitherto uncharacterized bimetallic alloy WPd₂.
