title: Penta-carbonyl-2κC-chlorido-1κCl-bis-[1(η)-cyclo-penta-dien-yl][μ(2)-oxido(meth-yl)methyl-ene-1:2κO:C]tungsten(0)zirconium(IV).
abstract: The title compound, [ZrW(C(5)H(5))(2)(C(2)H(3)O)Cl(CO)(5)] or [W(CO)(5)C(CH(3))OZr(C(5)H(5))(2)Cl], consists of two metal centres, with a (tungsten penta-carbon-yl)oxymethyl-carbene group coordinating as a monodentate ligand to the chloridozirconocene. The two halves of the mol-ecule are related by a crystallographic mirror plane. Delocalization through the Zr-O-C=W unit is indicated by a short Zr-O distance and a nearly linear Zr-O-C angle.
