Résumé
The tetrahedral cluster anion [Ru3Ir(CO)(13)](-) (1) reacts with internal alkynes RC=CR' 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 Ru,Ir skeleton in which the alkyne is coordinated in mu(4)-eta(2) 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 mu(3)-eta(2) parallel fashion. Protonation of these trinuclear anions leads to the formation of the corresponding neutral hydride clusters [HRu2Ir(Co)(9)(RC=CR')] (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 Xray structure analysis.
