Abstract

A mononuclear complex of tungsten(III) has been obtained by the zinc reduction of [WCl4(PMe2Ph)3]. This product, [WCl3(PMe2Ph)3], has an octahedral, meridional configuration, and crystallises in the space group P21/c, with a= 16.177(2), b= 10.350(1) and c= 18.079(2)A, β= 113.81(6)°. It can be used to prepare other mononuclear tungsten(III) compounds. Its structural relationship with other complexes, [MCl3(PMe2Ph)3](M = Re, Os or Ir), is discussed.
