Selective two-step oxidation of μ2-S ligands in trigonal prismatic unit {Re3(μ6-C)(μ2-S)3Re3} of the bioctahedral cluster anion [Re12CS17(CN)6]6–

An oxidation of cluster anion [Re(12)CS(17)(CN)(6)](6-) by H(2)O(2) in water has been investigated. It was shown that selective two-step oxidation of bridging μ(2)-S-ligands in trigonal prismatic unit {Re(3)(μ(6)-C)(μ(2)-S)(3)Re(3)} takes place. The first stage runs rapidly, whereas the speed of the second stage depends on intensity of ultraviolet irradiation of the reaction mixture. Each stage of the reaction is accompanied by a change in the solution's color. In the first stage of the oxidation, the cluster anion [Re(12)CS(14)(SO(2))(3)(CN)(6)](6-) is produced, in which all bridging S-ligands are turned into bridging SO(2)-ligands. The second stage of the oxidation leads to formation of the anion [Re(12)CS(14)(SO(2))(2)(SO(3))(CN)(6)](6-), in which one of the SO(2)-ligands underwent further oxidation forming the bridging SO(3)-ligand. Seven compounds containing these anions were synthesized and characterized by a set of different methods, elemental analyses, IR and UV/vis spectroscopy, and quantum-chemical calculations. Structures of some compounds based on similar cluster anions, [Cu(NH(3))(5)](3)[Re(12)CS(14)(SO(2))(3)(CN)(6)]·9.5H(2)O, [Ni(NH(3))(6)](3)[Re(12)CS(14)(SO(2))(3)(CN)(6)]·4H(2)O, and [Cu(NH(3))(5)](2.6)[Re(12)CS(14)(SO(2))(3)(CN)(6)](0.6)[{Re(12)CS(14)(SO(2))(2)(SO(3))(CN)(5)(μ-CN)}{Cu(NH(3))(4)}](0.4)·5H(2)O, were investigated by X-ray analysis of single crystals.

Chemical transformations supported by the [Re6(μ3-Se)8]2+ cluster core

This Perspective article discusses three interesting chemical transformations promoted by the octahedral [Re(6)(μ(3)-Se)(8)](2+) cluster core. These include (1) nucleophilic addition of alcohols to cluster-bound nitrile(s) to produce imino ester complexes; (2) synthesis of cluster-imine complexes with geometric specificity by reacting cluster nitrile solvates with organic azides; and (3) preparation and reactivity studies of carbonyl complexes of the cluster. We found that cluster-bound nitrile ligands were activated toward nucleophilic attack by methanol or ethanol, affording predominantly the Z-configured cluster-imino ester complexes, for which a mechanism evoking bifurcated hydrogen bonding interactions involving both the alcohol OH group and two nearest Se atoms of the cluster core was proposed. When reacted with organic azides, cluster-bound nitrile ligands were displaced and cluster-imine complexes were obtained, presumably through the formation of the corresponding cluster-azide complexes, followed by their photodecomposition. Lastly, cluster complexes featuring all-terminal carbonyl ligands were synthesized. Back-bonding interactions were verified, both experimentally and by computational studies. Their thermal and photo-stabilities were also evaluated, so was their reactivity toward methyl lithium for the eventual making of cluster-carbene catalysts. These findings, together with those by others, portend an exciting, new direction in the chemistry of solid-state type transition metal clusters.

Supramolecular architectures featuring stereoisomeric cluster complexes of the [Re6(μ3-Se)8]2+ core

The [Re₆(μ₃-Se)₈]²⁺ core-containing cluster complexes of the general formula [Re₆(μ₃-Se)₈(PEt₃)₄L₂]²⁺ (both trans- and cis-isomers) site-differentiated with inert PEt₃ and functional L ligands that are capable of hydrogen bonding or secondary (with respect to primary coordination with the cluster core) metal-ligand coordination interactions have been prepared.
