Polymerisation isomerism of tungsten(<scp>vi</scp>) oxomethoxide: new insights into the structure and reactivity of non-cluster metal oxoalkoxide aggregates
Polymerization isomerism is potentially important for metal alkoxides as precursors of oxide materials. Here, we present this phenomenon for tungsten oxo-methoxide, reporting the molecular and crystal structure of its polymeric form [WO(OMe)<sub>4</sub>]<sub>∞</sub>(1), its dimeric form W<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>(OMe)<sub>8</sub>(2), and a higher extent oxo-substituted by-product of the synthesis, Li<sub>2</sub>(MeOH)<sub>6</sub>W<sub>12</sub>O<sub>29</sub>(OMe)<sub>16</sub>(3).
