Hydrolytic cleavage of the Cr–Cr triple bond in (C5Me5)2Cr2(CO)4. The formation and crystal structure of [(C5Me5)4Cr4(µ-OH)6](BF4)2, an adamantane analogue

Abstract

(C5Me5)2Cr2(CO)4(Cr[triple bond, length half m-dash]Cr) reacts with moist LiPF6 in CH2Cl2 at room temperature, or with H2O directly in refluxing toluene, to produce the mononuclear hydride (C5Me5)Cr(CO)3H; the latter reaction also produces a salt [(C5Me5)4Cr4(µ-OH)6][(C5Me5)Cr(CO)3]2 whose BF4 derivative, [(C5Me5)4Cr4(µ-OH)6](BF4)2, has been characterized by X-ray crystallography.
