Synthesis and Molecular Structure of [Li(THF)₄][{(CO)₄Mo}₂(μ-PPh₂)(μ-PPh₂PPh₂)]: The First Compound with an 1,3-Dimetalla-cyclopentaphosphane Ring [Mo(CO)₄(NBD)] (NBD = norbornadiene) reacts with LiPPh₂ and PPh₂PPh₂ in THF at –80 °C to give [Li(THF)₄][{(CO)₄Mo}₂(μ-PPh₂)(μ-PPh₂PPh₂)] ( 1 ). 1 exhibits an A₂X coupling pattern in the ³¹P NMR spectrum. A crystal structure determination showed the presence of bridging phosphanido (PPh₂) and diphosphane ligands (PPh₂PPh₂). The central Mo₂P₃ five-membered ring adopts a half-chair conformation and thus resembles an inorganic cyclopentane.

In the presence of tertiary phosphines two imido-bridged cobalt clusters [Li(DME)₃]₂[Co₆(μ₄-NPh)(μ₂-NPh)₆(PPh₂Et)₂] ( 3 ) and [Li(THF)₄][Co₈(μ₃-NPh)₆(μ₂-NPh)₃(PPh₃)₂] ( 4 ) result. The structures of 1 – 4 were characterized by X-ray single crystal structure analysis.     

Darstellung von μ-Hydrido-μ-diphenylphosphido-bis(tetracarbonylrhenium) · 1/2 Xylol und Molekülstruktur des Derivates Re2(CO)6(PPh3)2(μ-H)(μ-PPh2) (Ph = C6H5)

Preparation of μ-Hydrido-μ-diphenylphosphido-bis(tetracarbonylrhenium) · 1/2 Xylene and Molecular Structure of the Derivative Re₂(CO)₆(PPh₃)₂(μ-H)(μ-PPh₂) (Ph = C₆H₅) The reaction of dirhenium decacarbonyl with diphenylphosphine in xylene solution gave at 190–200°C in a glas tube crystals of Re₂(CO)₈(μ-H)(μ-PPh₂) · 1/2 C₈H₁₀. The obtained adduct was reacted in the same solvent with an excess of triphenylphosphine to the derivative Re₂(CO)₆(PPh₃)₂(μ-H)(μ-PPh₂). Both diamagnetic dirhenium compounds with μ-H atom and μ-PPh₂ group were characterized by ¹H and ³¹P spectroscopic measurements. The molecular structure of the derivative was acertained by a single crystal X-ray analysis. Its result showed a three-membered Re₂(μ-P) ring as central molecular fragment. At these Re central atoms were attached two PPh₃ ligands in an unprefered cis-arrangement due to sterical reasons. A thermodynamic transinfluence of the (μ-P)? Re bond favoured the found positions of the PPh₃ ligands.     

Cluster chemistry. 61. Addition of HX (XCl,Br,I) or AuCl(PPh3) to an open Ru5 cluster. X-ray structures of Ru5(μ-H)(μ5-C2PPh2)(μ-PPh2)(μ-Br)(CO)13 and Ru5(μ-H)(μ5-C2PPh2)(μ3-I)(μ-PPh2)(CO)12

Reactions of aqueous HX (X?Cl, Br) or of AuCl(PPh₃) with Ru₅(μ₅-C₂PPh₂)(μ-PPh₂)(CO)₁₃ result in addition of the 4e-donor set (H + X) or (Au(PPh₃) + Cl) with concomitant opening of two Ru? Ru bonds to give complexes containing dimetallated triangular of ‘scorpion’ cores. Aqueous HI reacts similarly, but in this case the iodide ligand spans three Ru atoms, the (H + I) set acting as 6e-donor. The structures of the two title compounds were confirmed by X-ray crystallographic studies.
