Chloro[2,3-dimethylbutane-2,3-diolato(2 –)-O,O'][2,3-dimethylbutane-2,3-diolato(1 –)-O,O']oxotungsten(VI)

The title compound, [WOCl(C₆H₁₂O₂)(C₆H₁₃O₂)], is a neutral complex in which the central tungsten(VI) cation is bonded to one chloro, one oxo, one diolato and one hydrogendiolato ligand resulting in a distorted octahedron around the W^VI atom. Adjacent complex molecules are linked into dimers by O—HCl hydrogen bonds.
