Electron-deficient triruthenium and triosmium clusters from the reaction of the cluster anions [HM3(CO)(11)](-) (M = Ru, Os) with tricyclohexylphosphine in methanol
1999, Süss-Fink, Georg, Godefroy, Isabelle, Ferrand, Vincent, Neels, Antonia, Stoeckli-Evans, Helen, Kahlal, Samia, Saillard, Jean-Yves, Garland, Maria Teresa
The reaction of Na[HRu3(CO)(11)] with an excess of tricyclohexylphosphine in methanol gives the neutral complex H2Ru3(CO)(6)(PCy3)(3) which is the first 44 e(-) triruthenium cluster reported. This highly electron-deficient species reacts with carbon monoxide to give the saturated 48 e(-) cluster Ru-3(CO)(9)(PCy3)(3). The electronic structure of the novel 44 e- cluster was established by EHT and DFT molecular orbital calculations of isoelectronic model compounds. The analogous reaction of [N(PPh3)(2)][HOs3(CO)(11)] with PCy3 in methanol affords the 46 e(-) cluster H2Os3(CO)(7)(PCy3)(3), the first trisubstituted derivative of H2Os3(CO)(10). In all cases methanol acts as source of protons for the formation of the hydride clusters. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
Electron-deficient triruthenium clusters: synthesis and molecular structure of the anion [HRu3(CO)(7)(PCy3)(2)](-), a second example of an Ru-3 cluster presenting an electron count of 44 electrons
1999, Godefroy, Isabelle, Stoeckli-Evans, Helen, Süss-Fink, Georg
The reaction of [HRu3(CO)(11)](-) (1) with an excess of PCy3 in refluxing THF gives the electron-deficient anion [HRu3(CO)(7)(PCy3)(2)](-) (2) which has the rare electron count of 44e. As evidenced by the H-1 and P-31 NMR spectra, 2 exists in solution in the form of two isomers 2a and 2b, one of which crystallises from acetone as the tetraethylammonium salt. The single-crystal X-ray analysis shows a closed Ru, framework with the hydride ligand bridging the metal-metal bond between a phosphine-substituted and a phosphine-free ruthenium atom (isomer 2b).
