“…[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] Well-documented examples including [WF 6 (2-F-py)] (capped trigonal prism), 13 [WF 6 (py) 2 ] (bicapped trigonal prism), 14 [WF 6 (2,2 0 -bipy)] (structure unknown) 16 and the [WF 4 (2,2 0 -bipy) 2 ] 2+ cation (distorted dodecahedron). 15,16 On the other hand, reaction of WF 6 with sulfite esters, (RO) 2 SO (R = alkyl), or phosphites, (RO) 3 P, result in OR/F exchange to give, for example, [WF 5 (OR)], 12,18 while reaction of WF 6 with OMe 2 causes O/F exchange, forming [WOF 4 (OMe 2 )]. 12 Similar chemistry has been further developed and exploited to provide a useful entry into WOF 4 chemistry, by reaction of WF 6 with (Me 3 Si) 2 O in MeCN solution to form [WOF 4 (MeCN)], from which the MeCN is easily displaced by other neutral ligands.…”
