WiCsEtsKOROs metathesizes acetylenes extremely rapidly by a dissociative mechanism, ie, via formation of putative W (CEt)(OR') 3. W (C3Et3)(OR) 3, on the other hand, slowly metathesizes acetylenes by an associative mechanism in relatively noncoordinating solvents (pentane, benzene, or toluene; AH*= 14.4 (6) kcal moT1; 5*=-22.8 (2) eu). In diethyl ether or in the presence of dme the rateof metathesis is much higher due (it is postulated) to the solvent assisted dissociation of an acetylene from the WC3 ring to give W (CEt)(OR) 3 (ether),(x= 1 or 2) or W (CEt)(OR) 3 (dme) intermediates. W (C3Et3)[OCH (CF3) 2] 3 crystallizes in the triclinic space group PI [No. 2] with a= 9.949 (3) Á, b= 16.419 (4) Á, c= 18.485 (4) Á, a= 112.81 (2), ß= 93.53 (6), y= 98.60 (2), and Z= 4. Diffraction data were refined to RF= 8.00% and RwP= 7.78% for 511 parameters refined against all 6439 unique data and RF= 5.04% and RwF= 5.55% for those 4540 data with [F0|> 3 (| 0|). Two independent molecules define the crystallographic asymmetric unit. Each is a trigonal bipyramid containing a planar WC3 ring system in the equatorial plane. The two molecules differ primarily inthe orientation of the/3-ethyl group. In one molecule the W-Ca bond lengths are 1.902 (16) and 1.864 (14) A with W-Cs= 2.093 (14) A and Ca-C0= 1.429 (18) and 1.437 (21) A. Axial and equatorial alkoxide ligands show similarW-OC angles of 129.4 (9), 133.6 (8), and 138.6 (10) and W-0 distances of 1.982 (11), 1.962 (12), and 1.932 (10) A, consistent with a poor-electron-donating ability by the hexafluoroisopropoxide ligand.
