Abstract

The bis(diethyl ether) adducts of early transition metal chlorides, MCl₄(OEt₂)₂, serve as excellent precursors for complex inorganic and organometallic compounds due to the lability of the coordinated ethers. Previously reported MCl₄(OEt₂)₂ (M = Zr, Nb, Ta, Mo, W) complexes have crystallized with the ethers in a trans conformation, even though computational studies have predicted that compounds of the type MX₄L₂ should form cis isomers. Herein, we report the crystal structure of trans-HfCl₄(OEt₂)₂ and the synthesis and structure of cis-ReCl₄(OEt₂)₂. The report of the crystal structure of the Hf analog completes the Groups 4–6 2nd and 3rd row series and provides structural context regarding the trans preference and observations in M-Cl and M-O bond distances that are corroborated by Shannon’s ionic radii of the M(IV) cations. The isolation of the cis-Re analog provides the first structural example of a Group 7 MCl₄(OEt₂)₂ complex, as well as the first cis complex in the presented series. Computational studies were conducted to examine the cis/trans preferences across the entire series in the context of ionic radii, ligand hardness, and steric influence.

期刊介绍： Polyhedron publishes original, fundamental, experimental and theoretical work of the highest quality in all the major areas of inorganic chemistry. This includes synthetic chemistry, coordination chemistry, organometallic chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, and solid-state and materials chemistry. Papers should be significant pieces of work, and all new compounds must be appropriately characterized. The inclusion of single-crystal X-ray structural data is strongly encouraged, but papers reporting only the X-ray structure determination of a single compound will usually not be considered. Papers on solid-state or materials chemistry will be expected to have a significant molecular chemistry component (such as the synthesis and characterization of the molecular precursors and/or a systematic study of the use of different precursors or reaction conditions) or demonstrate a cutting-edge application (for example inorganic materials for energy applications). Papers dealing only with stability constants are not considered.
