[Na-15-crown-5][WF5(NCl)] has been prepared as yellow crystals by the reaction of NaF with WC14(NCl) in the presence of 15-crown-5 in acetonitrile solution. The compound was characterized by its IR spectrum as well as by an X-ray structure determination. Crystal data: space group P 21/n, Z = 4 (2945 observed, independent reflexions, R = 0.035). Lattice dimensions at - 65 °C: a = 827.2(8); b = 1617.3(13); c = 1372.2(10) pm; β = 99.42(5)°. The com pound forms ion pairs, in which the sodium ion is seven-coordinated by the oxygen atoms of the crown ether m olecule, and by two fluorine ligands of the [WF5(NCl)]- unit with Na -F distances of 228.3(6) and 251.3(6) pm. The W ≡ N-Cl group of the anion is nearly linear (bond angle 176.1(5)°) with bond lengths WN = 173.3(6) and NCI = 162.2(7) pm.
WCl4(NCl) has been prepared as a red-brown crystal powder by the reaction of tungsten hexacarbonyl with excess nitrogen trichloride in boiling CCl4. The complex is associated via chloro bridges, forming dimeric units, according to the IR spectrum. Thermal decomposition at 200 °C leads to tungsten nitride trichloride, WNCl3,. With acetonitrile, WCl4(NCl) reacts with formation of the monomeric complex [CH,CN-WCl4(NCl)], which was characterized by its IR spectrum as well as by an X-ray structure determination. Crystal data: space group P21/m, Z = 2 (1387 independent observed reflexions, R = 0.07). Lattice dimensions at 20 °C: a = 590.4(3), b = 729.0(3), c = 1124.6(4) pm, β = 100.63(2)°. The complex forms monomeric molecules, in which the tungsten atom has a distorted octahedral environment of four chlorine atoms in equatorial positions, and the acetonitrile molecule in trans-position to the group. Bond lengths WN = 172 and NCI = 161 pm; bond angle WNCl = 175.5°.
