The reaction of [Ru₃(CO)₁₂] with Ph₂(pyth)PSe (pyth=5-(2-pyridyl)-2-thienyl) allows to obtain two novel clusters [Ru₃(₃-Se)₂(CO)₇{P(pyth)Ph₂}₂] 1 and [Ru₃(₃-Se)(-PPh₂)(-pyth)(CO)₆{P(pyth)Ph₂}] 2 in satisfactory yields. The first one exhibits the well-known bicapped, open triangular, 50-electron nido-core, whereas 2, whose crystal structure has been determined, shows the rather rare Ru₃Se tetrahedron with the Ph₂P and pyth fragments as side-bridging ligands. Morever cluster 2 belongs to the exiguous family of selenido-phosphido clusters not easily achievable by other routes.     

Novel polyselenidoarsenate and selenidoarsenate: solvothermal synthesis and characterization of [Co(phen)3][As2Se2(μ-Se3)(μ-Se5)] and [Co(phen)3]2[As8Se14

Novel cobalt polyselenidoarsenate [Co(phen)(3)][As(2)Se(2)(μ-Se(3))(μ-Se(5))] (1; phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) was methanolothermally synthesized by the reaction of CoCl(2), As(2)O(3), and Se templated by phen in a CH(3)OH solvent at 130 °C. The same reaction in a H(2)O solvent yielded cobalt selenidoarsenate [Co(phen)(3)](2)[As(8)Se(14)] (2). In 1, the AsSe(+) units are alternately joined by the μ-Se(3)(2-) and μ-Se(5)(2-) bridging ligands to form a novel helical polyselenidoarsenate chain [As(2)Se(2)(μ-Se(3))(μ-Se(5))(2-)](∞). In 2, eight pyramidal AsSe(3) units are connected via corner sharing into the new member of the selenidoarsenate aggregate [As(8)Se(14)](4-) with a condensation grade of 0.571, which represents the first discrete selenidoarsenate(III) with a condensation grade of above 0.50. The octahedral complex [Co(phen)(3)](2+) is formed in situ to act as a countercation in compounds 1 and 2. 1 and 2 exhibit steep absorption band gaps at 2.09 and 2.16 eV, respectively.

Diphenylphosphine and diphenylphosphido derivatives of [Ru3(μ-H)(μ3-ampy)(CO)9] (Hampy = 2-amino-6-methylpyridine)

The reactions of [Ru₃(μ-H)(μ-ampy)(CO)₉] (1) (Hampy = 2-amino-6-methylpyridine) with one or two equivalents of PPh₂H lead to the complexes [Ru₃(μ-H)(μ₃-ampy)(CO)₈(PPh₂H)] (2) or [Ru₃(μ-H)(μ₃-ampy)(CO)₇(PPh₂H)₂] (3), in which the PPh₂H ligands are cis to the bridging NH fragment and cis to the hydride.
