Transition metal oxy chloride complexes

In inorganic chemistry, transition metal oxy chloride complexes are coordination complexes that consists of a transition metal coordinated to chloride and oxide ligands. These complexes are molecular (discrete) in contrast to the ternary phase metal oxychloride. The class of complexes is extensive.[1]
Bonding
Chloride and oxide are X-type ligands in coordination chemistry. Chloride is both σ-donor and a weak π-donor. Oxide is strong σ-donor and a strong π-donor. Both occur as terminal ligand and a bridging ligand.

| Metal | examples | comment |
|---|---|---|
| Ti | [TiOCl4]2−, Cl3TiOTiCl3 | exclusively Ti(IV) |
| V | VOCl3, [VOCl4]2− | exclusively V(V), NbOCl3 is polymeric |
| Ta | [Ta2OCl10]2− | |
| Cr | CrO2Cl2, [CrO3Cl]− | exclusively Cr(VI) |
| Mo | MoOCl4, | exclusively Mo(VI) |
| W | WOCl4, [W2O4Cl6]2− | exclusively W(VI)[3] |
| Re | ReO3Cl, Re2O4Cl6 | see[4] |
| Fe | [Fe2OCl6]2-[5][6] | corner-shared bitetrahedral |
| Ru | [Ru2OCl10]4−[7] | corner-shared biooctahedral |
| Os | [Os2OCl10]4−[8][OsO2Cl4]2−[9] | osmium oxides are numerous, exception to the pattern that terminal oxo ligands are associated with d0 metal centers. |
The compounds [Ta2OCl10]2− and [M2OCl10]4− (M = W, Ru, Os) have two MCl5 groups joined by a bridging oxygen atom.[10] Each metal has an octahedral environment. The linear M−O−M structure can be rationalized in terms of molecular orbital theory, indicating the presence of dπ — pπ bonding between the metal and oxygen atoms.[11]
