The X-ray structure of [Et4N][(Ph3Sn)3Cr(CO)4] shows the presence of seven-coordinate chromium bound to four terminal carbonyl groups and three triphenyltin units. The anion is of approximate C3v symmetry; a triangular face of tin atoms is capped by a carbon monoxide unit. This is the first structurally characterized chromium carbonyl complex containing seven unidentate ligands and the initial example of a molecule of the general formula X3Cr(CO)4-. The crystalline material is triclinic (space group P1) with cell parameters a = 14.371 (4) ?, b = 20.560 (10) ?, c = 10.730 (5) ?, α = 99.21 (4)°, β = 105.07 (3)°, γ = 83.29 (3)°, V = 3012 (4) ?3, and Z = 2. Reactions of (Ph3Sn)3Cr(CO)4- with Ph3SnLi, MeLi, Ph3P, and hexamethyl-phophoramide result in the loss of one triphenyltin group and the formation of moderate to high yields of the six-coordinate anion (Ph3Sn)2Cr(CO)42-.

Treatment of Na4[M(CO)4] with 2 equiv of Ph3SnCl provides approximately 50% yields of [Et4N]2[(Ph3Sn)2M(CO)4] for M = Cr and W and very low yields for M = Mo. The reaction of L2M(CO)4, where L2 = norbornadiene, cyclooctadiene, tetramethylethylenediamine, or ethylenediamine (M = Cr, Mo, W), with 2 equiv of Ph3SnLi is a more facile and often higher yield route (60-70% for M = Cr, Mo; 35% for M = W) to the same dianions. These materials react with Ph3SnCl to provide 30-40% yields of [Et4N][(Ph3Sn)3M(CO)4], in which Cr, Mo, and W are seven-coordinate. Reactions of [Et4N]2-[(Ph3Sn)2M(CO)4] (M = Cr, Mo) with acetic acid, [Me2NCCl2]Cl, and methyl iodide in acetonitrile provide 30-40% yields of [Et4N][H(Ph3Sn)2M(CO)4], containing seven-coordinate metals, trans-Ph3Sn(CO)4M≡ CNMe2, and [Et4N][(Ph3Sn)M(CO)4(CH3CN)], respectively. The coordinated acetonitrile in the latter compounds is slowly displaced by PPh3 in acetonitrile at 25°C to give 35-50% yields of [Et4N]-[Ph3SnM(CO)4(PPh3)]. All of these new materials are characterized by elemental analyses and IR and 1H NMR spectra.
