Abstract

The interaction of MgMe₂ or MeLi with MOCl₄ (M = W or Mo) leads to the paramagnetic (d¹) complexes (Me₄MO)₂Mg(thf)₄ and (Me₄MO)Li(thf)₂, respectively. The structure of (Me₄WO)₂Mg(thf)₄ has been determined by X-ray crystallography and shown to consist of Mg²⁺ co-ordinated by thf and square pyramidal Me₄WO⁻ units. The preparation of the diamagnetic rhenium(V) compound (Me₄ReO)Li(thf)₂ is also reported.
