Pentacarbonyl-2κ5C-chlorido-1κCl-bis[1(η5)-cyclopentadienyl](μ-α-oxidobenzylidene-1:2κ2O:C)titanium(IV)tungsten(0)

Abstract

The title compound, [TiW(C5H5)2(C7H5O)Cl(CO)5], consists of two metal centres, with a (tungstenpentacarbonyl)oxyphenylcarbene unit coordinated by a titanocene chloride. The oxycarbene group is nearly planar, with the phenyl ring twisted by an angle of 39.1 (2)° with respect to this plane. One of the cyclopentadienyl rings undergoes an offset face-to-face π–π interaction [3.544 (6) Å] with the symmetry-related cyclopentadienyl ring of a neighbouring molecule.
