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

Abstract

The title compound, [TiW(C(5)H(5))(2)(C(7)H(5)O)Cl(CO)(5)], consists of two metal centres, with a (tungstenpenta-carbon-yl)oxy-phenyl-carbene 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 cyclo-penta-dienyl rings undergoes an offset face-to-face π-π inter-action [3.544 (6) Å] with the symmetry-related cyclo-penta-dienyl ring of a neighbouring mol-ecule.
