The oxidative addition reaction of SnCl4 with [W(CO)4(NCMe)(PPh3)] in acetonitrile gives a mixture of seven-]coordinate tungsten(II) compounds: [WCl(SnCl3)(CO)3(NCMe)(PPh3)] (1), [WCl2(CO)3(NCMe)(PPh3)] (2), [WCl(SnCl3)(CO)2(NC-Me)2(PPh3)] (3), and [WCl2(CO)2(NCMe)2(PPh3)] (4) identified by IR and NMR (1H, 13C{1H}, and 31P{1H}) studies. Treatment of [W(CO)4(NCMe)(PPh3)] with 1 equiv. of SnCl4 in CH2Cl2 solution besides compounds 1 and 2 also gives ionic species such as [HPPh3]+ and [SnCl6]2- and cationic tungsten(II) complexes. The crystal structure of one of these, [WH(CO)3(NCMe)(PPh3)2][SnCl5 ·MeOH] (5), has been established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The IR, 1H, 13C{1H} and 31P{1H} spectra of 5 are also described and can be correlated with the crystallographically observed geometry. A notable feature of 5 is the presence of an agostic interaction of the hydride ligand with one of the carbonyl ligands.
