Abstract

The dihydride {(η5-C5H3)2(SiMe2) 2}W2(CO)6(H)2 (1), which contains a linked dicyclopentadienyl ligand, reacts with Ph3C+ to give [{(η5-C5H3)2(SiMe2) 2}W2(CO)6(μ-H)]+ (2H+).The W-H-W bond in 2H+ is cleaved upon reaction with I- to give {(η5-C5H3)2(SiMe2) 2}W2(CO)6-(H)(I) (3). Crystal structures of [{(η5-C5H3)2(SiMe2) 2}W2(CO)6(μ-H)]+ (2H+ and its unprotonated analogue {(η5-C5H3)2(SiMe2) 2}W2(CO)6 (2) are also reported and discussed.
