Abstract
The cationic hydride complexes
[W(η-C 5
H 5
) 2
H(L)][CF 3
SO 3
] [L = NCMe, NCPh, tetrahydrofuran (thf) or
CNBu t
] have been synthesized by reaction of
[W(η-C 5
H 5
) 2
H 2
] and methyl
trifluoromethanesulfonate in the presence of the σ-donor ligand L.
Kinetic measurements on ligand-substitution reactions in CD 3
CN
solution indicate that L is labile in solution;
[W(η-C 5
H 5
) 2
H(L)] + cations
have half-lives of 315(10), 122(6) and 6.68(5) h (L = NCMe,
NCPh or thf respectively) at 44 °C. The activation energy
E a for tetrahydrofuran substitution in
[W(η-C 5
H 5
) 2
H(thf)] + is
132 ± 1 kJ mol -1
. An X-ray
crystallographic determination of the structure of
[W(η-C 5
H 5
) 2
H(thf)][CF 3

] demonstrates that the tetrahydrofuran ligand is oriented
‘in-plane’ with the centroid–W–centroid plane,
indicating that the thf acts as a simple σ-donor ligand. Reaction of
[W(η-C 5

excess of CF 3
