Abstract

A “pure” carbonylmetalate–containing only metal and CO – has now been obtained for zirconium as the salt 1. The synthesis of 1 could only be achieved in the presence of a complexant for alkali metals, e.g., a crown ether such as [15]crown‐5 (15‐C‐5). The 91Zr‐NMR spectrum of[Zr(13CO)6]2‐ (99% 13C) reveals that the anion exhibits octahedral geometry. (Formula Presented.)
