Synthesis, reactivity, X-ray crystal and molecular structures of a novel dimeric tungsten(vi) polyoxoperoxo complex: [PPh4]2[Ph2SiO2{W2 O2(µ-O2)2(O2)2 }] and of a molybdenum(vi) analogue

Abstract

Tungsten and molybdenum complexes containing a diphenylsilanediolato ligand are structurally characterised; the overall structures of the anions are conserved in organic solvents.
