Abstract

Tungsten-183 NMR data are reported for the complexes cis- and trans-[W(CO)4(PPh3)(PR3)] (PR3 = PnBu3, PMe3, PMe2Ph, PMePh 2, PPh3, P(4-C6H4OMe)3, P(4-C6H4Me)3, P(4-C6H 4F)3, P(OMe)3, P(OEt)3, P(OPh) 3 and for PCy3, P(NMe2)3(trans isomer only). The 183W chemical shift (obtained by indirect detection using 31P) is found to be related to the PR3 ligand parameters ν and θ (Tolman electronic factor and cone angle, respectively) for the cis isomers and to ν (but only poorly to θ) for the trans isomers. The 183W-31P spin coupling constant is also related, less clearly for P-C than for P-N and P-O bonded ligands, to ν. Chemical shifts are referenced to an absolute frequency Ξ (183W) = 4.15 MHz, which is proposed as a calibration standard for 183W NMR. The structures of cis-[W(CO)4(PPh3)(PMe3)] and cis-[W(CO)4(PPh3){P(4-C6H4F) 3}] are reported.
