Abstract
The structure of (AsPh4)2[WO(CN)3(Pic)] · 2H2O has been determined from three dimensional x-ray data. The cell dimensions are:a=17.699(8),b=13.546(6),c= 13.590(6) A, α=117.39(8), β = 71.54(7) and γ = 115.04(8)°, space group P¯1, Z = 2, The structure was solved from 5279 observed reflections. The anisotropic refinement converged to R = 0.060. The [WO(CN)3(Pic)]2−-ion is a distorted octahedron. The structure indicates that the aqua group in [WO(CN)4(H2O)]2− was displaced by an oxygen atom of the carboxylate of 2-picolinate, while a cyanide ligand was substituted by the pyridine nitrogen atom. Themer-arrangement of the three cyanide ligands has two normaltrans W-Cav = 2.17(2) A bond distances and a significant shorter W-C = 2.042(18) A bond trans to the W-N [2.188(18) A] bond. The W=O and W-O bond lengths are 1.676(9)A and 2.171 A, respectively.
