Halides and oxide halides of molybdenum and tungsten. III. Oxo-bridged species of tungsten(IV) and molybdenum(V)

Abstract

The compound formulated in the literature as K₂W(OH)Cl₅ has been shown to be the oxo-bridged dimer K₄[WT₂Ocl₁₀], and the diamagnetic dimer formed by the partial hydrolysis of the MOOCl^2- ion has been isolated for the first time and shown to be the oxo-bridged [Mo₂O₃Cl₈]^4- ion.
