    Triruthenium clusters containing a methylphenylsulfoximido cap or bridge, Ru3(CO)9(μ2-H)[μ3-NS(O)MePh] (1), Ru3(CO)10(μ2-H)[μ3-NS(O)MePh] (2), Ru3(CO)8(μ3-η2-CPhCHBu)[μ3-NS(O)MePh] (3), Ru3 (CO)9(μ3-η2-PhCCCCHPh)[μ2-NS(O)MePh] (4), and Ru3(CO)7(μ2-CO)(μ3-η2-PhCCCCHPh)[μ3-NS(O)MePh] (5) have been examined by EHT and DFT calculations in order to analyze the bonding present in the clusters and to establish the electron counting. They clearly show that a μ3-sulfoximido group is not a 3e− ligand as one may be led to think at first sight, but rather acts as a three-orbital/5e− system, i.e. should be considered as isolobal to an N---R− ligand. Because of some delocalization of its π-type orbitals on the sulfur and oxygen atoms, it is expected to bind slightly less strongly to metal atoms than classical imido ligands. Once in a μ2 coordination mode, the sulfoximido ligand retains a lone pair on its pyramidalized N atom and becomes a two-orbital/3e− ligand. It follows that clusters 1, 2, 4 and 5 are electron-precise, whereas cluster 3 is electron deficient with respect to the 18e− rule but obeys the polyhedral skeletal electron pair electron-counting rules. Consistently, all the calculated clusters exhibit large HOMO–LUMO gaps and no trace of electron deficiency can be found in their electronic structures.

    Tri- and Tetranuclear Mixed-Metal Clusters Containing Alkyne Ligands : Synthesis and Structure of [Ru3Ir(CO)11(RCCR’)]-, [Ru2Ir(CO)9(RCCR’)]-, and [HRu2Ir(CO)9(RCCR’)]

    The tetrahedral cluster anion [Ru3Ir(CO)13]- (1) reacts with internal alkynes RCCR to afford the alkyne derivatives [Ru3Ir(CO)11(RCCR)]- (2: R = R’ = Ph; 3: R = R’ = Et; 4: R = Ph; R’ = Me; 5: R = R’ = Me) which have a butterfly arrangement of the Ru3Ir skeleton in which the alkyne is coordinated in a μ4-η2 fashion. Under CO pressure they undergo fragmentation to give the trinuclear cluster anions [Ru2Ir(CO)9 (RCCR)]- (6: R = R’ = Ph; 7: R = R’ = Et; 8: R’ = Ph; R’ = Me; 9: R = R’ = Me), in which the alkyne ligand is coordinated in a μ3-η2 parallel fashion. Protonation of these trinuclear anions leads to the formation of the corresponding neutral hydrido clusters [HRu2Ir(CO)9 (RCCR)] (10: R = R’ = Ph; 11: R = R’ = Et; 12: R = Ph; R’ = Me; 13: R = R’ = Me). The protonation of the butterfly anions 2 and 3, however, gives rise to the formation of the neutral tetrahedral clusters [HRu3Ir(CO)11(RCCR)] (14: R = R’ = Ph and 15: R = R’ = Et), respectively. The analogous clusters [HRu3Ir(CO)11(PhCCCH3)] (16) and [HRu3Ir(CO)11(CH3CCCH3)] (17) are only accessible from the reaction of the neutral cluster [HRu3Ir(CO)13] with the corresponding alkynes. The complexes 2, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12 and 15 are characterised by X-ray structure analysis.

    The anionic mixed-metal cluster [Ru3Ir(CO)13]–1, found to be catalytically active in the carbonylation of methanol, reacts with methanol at 70 °C to give, with O–H activation of the substrate, the cluster anion [HRu3Ir(CO)12(OMe)]–2, which upon prolonged reaction loses formaldehyde to give the cluster anion [H2Ru3Ir(CO)12]–3; both anions 2 and 3 crystallise together as the double-salt [N(PPh3)2]2[HRu3Ir(CO)12(OMe)][H2Ru3Ir(CO)12] the single-crystal X-ray structure analysis of which reveals a butterfly Ru3Ir skeleton for 2 and a tetrahedral Ru3Ir skeleton for 3.

    Triruthenium–iridium clusters containing alkyne ligands : synthesis, structure, and catalytic implications of [(µ-H)IrRu3(CO)11(µ3-η2-PhC≡CPh)] and [IrRu3(CO)10(µ4-η2-PhC≡CPh)(µ-η2-PhC=CHPh)]

    The mixed-metal cluster [HIrRu3(CO)13] 1 reacts with one equivalent of disubstituted alkynes RC≡CR to give [HIrRu3(CO)11(µ3-η2-RC≡CR)] (R = Ph 2; R = Me 3), with a second equivalent of the alkyne the clusters [IrRu3(CO)10(µ4-η2-RC≡CR)(µ-η2-RC=CHR)] (R = Ph 4; R = Me 5) are obtained. The single-crystal X-ray structure analyses of 2 and 3 show these clusters to have a tetrahedral Ru3Ir framework containing the alkyne ligand coordinated in a parallel fashion over the Ru3 face of the metal skeleton. In contrast, the clusters 4 and 5 consist of a butterfly arrangement of the Ru3Ir framework with the alkyne ligand coordinated to all four metal atoms, giving an overall octahedral Ru3IrC2 skeleton, as demonstrated by the single-crystal structure analysis of 4. Cluster 1 is an excellent catalyst for the hydrogenation of diphenylacetylene to give stilbene (catalytic turnover number 990 within 15 min), clusters 2 and 4 are also catalytically active but seem to represent side-channels of the catalytic cycle.

    The new cluster anion [Ru3Ir(CO)13]–1 was synthesized in high yield from [Ru3(CO)12] and [Ir(CO)4]–. The single-crystal X-ray structure analysis of the bis(triphenylphosphoranylidene)ammonium salt revealed the presence of two isomers, [Ru3Ir(CO)11(µ-CO)2]–1a and Ru3Ir(CO)9(µ-CO)4]–1b in the same crystal. Both 1a and 1b present a tetrahedral Ru3Ir framework, differing only by the number of bridging carbonyl ligands. Variable-temperature 13C NMR spectroscopic studies of 1 revealed the fluxionality of the carbonyl ligands and the interconversion of both isomers in solution. Protonation of 1 gave the neutral cluster [HRu3Ir(CO)13] 2, whereas reaction of 1 with molecular hydrogen yielded the anion [H2Ru3Ir(CO)12]–3. Either hydrogenation of 2 or protonation of 3 gave [H3Ru3Ir(CO)12] 4. The tetrahedral structure of the hydrido derivatives was confirmed by a single-crystal X-ray structure analysis of the bis(triphenylphosphoranylidene)ammonium salt of 3.
