Abstract
The heterodinuclear complex [W(CO)5(Me2NCH2Fc)] (Fc = ferrocenyl) (1) resulting from the reaction of [(dimethylamino)methyl]ferrocene (2) and [W(CO)6] was studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Its molecular structure confirms the coordination of the amine nitrogen in 2 to tungsten (d(W-N) = 2.359(5) Å) and reveals its trans-influence in the W(CO)5 moiety. The structure is discussed in relation to several previously referred spectroscopic (IR, UV-VIS, 13C NMR) data.
