Synthesis of Platinum-Triruthenium Clusters Using the Zero-Valent Platinum Reagent Pt(nb)3: X-Ray Crystal Structures of Ru3Pt(CO)11(P-iPr3)2, Ru3Pt(μ-H)(μ3-η3-MeCCHCMe)(CO)9(P-iPr3), Ru3Pt(μ3-η2-PhCCPh)(CO)10(P-iPr3), Ru3Pt(μ-H)(μ4-N)(CO)10(P-iPr3) and Ru3Pt(μ-H)(μ4-η2-NO)(CO)10(P-iPr3)

The complexes Pt(nb)_3-n(P-iPr₃)_n (n=1, 2, nb=bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene), prepared in situ from Pt(nb)₃, are useful reagents for addition of Pt(P-iPr₃)_n fragments to saturated triruthenium clusters. The complexes Ru₃Pt(CO)₁₁(P-iPr₃)₂ (1), Ru₃Pt(-H)(₃-³-MeCCHCMe)(CO)₉(P-iPr₃) (2), Ru₃Pt(₃-²-PhCCPh)(CO)₁₀(P-iPr₃) (3), Ru₃Pt(-H)(₄-N)(CO)₁₀(P-iPr₃) (4) and Ru₃Pt(-H)(₄-²-NO)(CO)₁₀(P-iPr₃) (5) have been prepared in this fashion. All complexes have been characterized spectroscopically and by single crystal X-ray determinations. Clusters 1–3 all have 60 cluster valence electrons (CVE) but exhibit differing metal skeletal geometries. Cluster 1 exhibits a planar-rhomboidal metal skeleton with 5 metal–metal bonds and with minor disorder in the metal atoms. Cluster 2 has a distorted tetrahedral metal arrangement, while cluster 3 has a butterfly framework (butterfly angle=118.93(2)°). Clusters 4 and 5 posseses 62 CVE and spiked triangular metal frameworks. Cluster 4 contains a ₄-nitrido ligand, while cluster 5 has a highly unusual ₄-²-nitrosyl ligand with a very long nitrosyl N–O distance of 1.366(5) Å.

Two new mixed metal cluster complexes PtRu₃(CO)₁₀(PPh₃)(₃-S)₂,3 14% yield and PtRu₃(CO)₉(PPh₃)₂(₃-S)₂,4 23% yield were obtained from the reaction of Ru₃(CO)₉(₃-S)₂,1 with Pt(PPh₃)₂(C₂H₄) at 0°C. The cluster of4 consists of a spiked triangle of four metal atoms with two triply bridging sulfido ligands. The reaction of Ru₄(CO)₁₁(₄-S)₂,2 with Pt(PPh₃)₂(C₂H₄) yielded the expanded mixed-metal cluster complex PtRu₄(CO)₁₂(PPh₃)(₄-S)₂,5 in 12% yield. The structure of the cluster5 can be described as a pentagonal bipyramid of five metal atoms and two sulfido ligands with one metal-metal bond missing. Compounds4 and5 were characterized by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses.

The reaction between Ru₅(₅-C₂PPh₂)(-PPh₂)(CO)₁₃ and Au(C₂Ph)(PPh₃) afforded AuRu₅(₅-C₂PPh₂)(-C₂Ph)(-PPh₂)(CO)₁₃ (PPh₃), in which the Ru₅ cluster has a scorpion geometry; the Au(PPh₃) group bridges one of the Ru-Ru bonds of the Ru₃ triangle, while the C₂Ph group bridges one of the tail Ru-Ru vectors.For Part 84, see Ref. 1.     

Addition of HCl to a Cluster-Bound Vinylidene Ligand: Preparation and Structure of Ru5(μ3-SMe)(μ3-CMe)(μ-Cl)(μ-SMe)(μ-PPh2)2(CO)9·PhMe

Addition of aqueous HCl to Ru₅( ₃-C=CH₂)(-SMe)₂(-PPh₂)₂(CO)₁₀ afforded the structurally characterized carbyne complex Ru₅( ₃-SMe)( ₃-CMe)(-Cl)(-SMe)(-PPh₂)₂(CO)₉, formed by addition of H to the vinylidene ligand; a Cl atom bridges an Ru–Ru bond.     

Synthesis and structural characterization of the first transition metal cluster containing a PPh2AuPPh3 ligand,Ir4(CO)8(μ-CO)3(PPh2AuPPh3), and its conversion into Ir4(CO)9(μ-CO)(μ-PPh2)(μ-AuPPh3)

Deprotonation of Ir₄(CO)₁₁PPh₂H (1) in the presence of [AuPPh₃][PF₆] yields the novel species Ir₄(CO)₁₁(PPh₂AuPPh₃) (2), which possesses a tetrahedral framework bearing a terminally bound PPh₂AuPPh₃ ligand. When heated in toluene, 2 is converted into the phosphido species Ir₄(CO)₁₀(μ-PPh₂)(μ-AuPPh₃).     

Ru3(CO)9(PPh3)3: a convenient starting material for the synthesis of binuclear ruthenium(I) complexes. Crystal structure of Ru2(μ-L2)(CO)4(PPh3)2 (H2L2 = 1,8-diaminonaphthalene)

The thermal reaction of Ru₃(CO)₉(PPh₃)₃ with precursors (HL) of binucleating anionic ligands affords the ruthenium(I) dimers Ru₂(μ-L)₂(CO)₄(PPh₃)₂ (3), t-butylmercaptane (4); H₂L₂ = 1,8-diaminonaphthalenene (5)]. The crystal structure of complex 5 shows that each nitrogen of the 1,8-diiminonaphthalene ligand bridges the two ruthenium atoms, leading to a vary distorted, octahedral arrangement of the ligands and a very short RuRu distance, 2.5788(3) Å.     

Solid–Gas Hydrogenation of Hex-3-yne and 1,4-Cyclohexadiene in the Presence of Ru3(CO)9(μ-H)(μ-PPh2), Ru3(CO)10(μ-H)(μ-PPh2), Ru3(CO)7(μ-PPh2)2(C6H4), and Ru4(CO)11(μ4-PPh)(C6H4) Deposited on Pyrex Glass, Silica, and Alumina

The title complexes were tested in the hydrogenation of hex-3-yne and of 1,3- and 1,4-cyclohexadiene (CHD) under solid–gas conditions. The clusters were deposited on three “standard” supports, that is, pyrex glass, alumina, and silica. All the clusters, particularly (μ-H)Ru₃(CO)₁₀(PPh₂), show hydrogenation activity. However, they are not particularly selective toward the formation of monoenes; “disproportionation” of 1,3- and 1,4-CHD to hydrogenated products and benzene also occurs. The hydrogenation activity of the clusters is dependent on their nature, the type of substrate, and the characteristics of the supporting material; silica and pyrex glass are usually more active than alumina. Attempts at detecting the formation of organometallic intermediates or by-products (through IR spectroscopy) were made. HRTEM was used to check for eventual decomposition on some supports.     

Formation and isomerization of cis,cis-Ir(H)2(--Ph)(CO)(PPh3)2 and cis,cis-Ir(H)(--Ph)2(CO)(PPh3)2 in oxidative addition of hydrogen and phenylacetylene to trans-Ir(CO)(--Ph)(PPh3)2

Oxidative addition of H–R (H--Ph and H₂) to trans-Ir(--Ph)(CO)(PPh₃)₂ (2) gives the initial products, cis, cis-Ir(H)(--Ph)₂(CO)(PPh₃)₂ (3a) and cis, cis-Ir(H)₂(--Ph)(CO)(PPh₃)₂ (3b), respectively. Both cis-bis(PPh₃) complexes, 3a and 3b undergo isomerization to give the trans-bis(PPh₃) complexes, trans, trans-Ir(H)(--Ph)₂(CO)(PPh₃)₂ (4a) and cis, trans-Ir(H)₂(--Ph)(CO)(PPh₃)₂ (4b). The isomerization, 3b→4b is first order with respect to 3b with k₁=6.37×10⁻⁴ s⁻¹ at 25°C under N₂ in CDCl₃. The reaction rate (k₁) seems independent of the concentration of H₂. A large negative entropy of activation (ΔS^≠=−24.9±5.7 cal deg⁻¹ mol⁻¹) and a relatively small enthalpy of activation (ΔH^≠=14.5±3.3 kcal mol⁻¹) were obtained in the temperature range 15∼35°C for the isomerization, 3b→4b under 1 atm of H₂.     

Synthesis and Structure of a Novel Mg6 Cluster Molecule Mg6(μ3-OH)2(μ3-Br)2(μ-Br)8(THF)8

A novel Mg₆ cluster molecule with the formula of Mg₆( ₃-OH)₂( ₃-Br)₂(-Br)₈(THF)₈ (1) has been isolated in 38% yield from a reaction of the Grignard reagent, 2-naphthyl-Mg-Br with BBr₃ in THF. The structure of 1, determined by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, contains two Mg₃ triangles linked together by two bridging bromide ligands. Within each Mg₃ triangle, one hydroxide and one bromide ligand function as triply bridging ligands capping both sides of the Mg₃ triangle. The coordination geometry around each Mg(II) ion is approximately octahedral. NMR studies revealed that compound 1 is highly fluxional in solution.

The compound [Ru₄(μ-Se)₂(CO)₈(μ3-CO)₃] (1), has been obtained in good yield by vacuum pyrolysis of [RU₃(CO)₁₂] with [Ph₂Se₂] at 185°C. Reaction of 1 with 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane at room temperature affords the novel cluster [RU₃(μ₃-Se)₂(CO)₇(Ph₂P(CH₂)₃PPh₂)] (2). The structures of 1 and 2 have been determined by an X-ray diffraction study.     

A SIMPLE ROUTE FOR SYNTHESES OF TRIHALIDE-BRIDGED CARBONYL DIRUTHENIUM(II,III) COMPLEXES: CRYSTAL AND MOLECULAR STRUCTURE OF ttt-[RuIICl2(CO)2(PPh3)2],[(CO)(AsPh3)2RuII(μ-Cl3)RuIIICl2(AsPh3)] AND ([CO)(PPh3)2RuII(μ-Br3)RuIIIBr2(PPh3)], SPECTROSCOPIES,ELECTROCHEMISTRY AND PROPERTIES

Abstract

The triply halide-bridged binuclear complexes [Ru₂Cl₅(CO)(AsPh₃)₃] (AsPh₃ = triphenylarsine), [Ru₂Cl₅(CO)(PPh₃)₂(AsPh₃)] (PPh₃ = triphenylphosphine), [Ru₂Cl₅(CO)(AsPh₃)₂(PPh₃)], [Ru₂ Br₅(CO)(PPh₃)₃], [Ru₂Cl₅(CO)(P{p-tol}₃)₂(PPh₃)] (P{p-tol}₃ = tri-p-tolylphosphine) and [Ru₂ Br₂Cl₃(PPh₃)₂(AsPh₃)] were prepared from the precursor compounds ttt-[RuX₂(CO)₂(P)₂] (X = Cl or Br) and [RuY₃(P')₂S]·S (Y = Cl or Br; P=PPh₃, AsPh₃ or P{p- tol}₃ and P' = AsPh₃ or PPh₃; S=DMA or MeOH, where DMA = N,N'-dimethylacetamide). The molecular structures of the binuclear complexes [Ru₂Cl₅(CO)(AsPh₃)₃] (P2_1/c), [Ru₂Br₅(CO)(PPh₃)₃] (P2_1/c) and ttt-[RuCl₂(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂] (P1) were determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The complexes are always formed by two Ru atoms bridged through three halide anions, two of which are × type (from the Ru^II precursor) and the other is Y type (from the ruthenium^III precursor) confirming our previously suggested mechanism for obtaining this class of complexes. The Ru^II atom is also coordinated to a carbon monoxide molecule and two P ligands from the ttt-starting isomer whereas the Ru^III atom is bonded to two non-bridging Y halides and one P' molecule. The presence of Ru^III was confirmed by EPR data, a technique that was also useful to suggest the symmetry of the complexes. The absence of intervalence charge-transfer transitions (IT) in the near infrared spectrum confirms that the binuclear complexes have localized valence. The IR spectra of the complexes show; (CO) bands close to 1970 cm^?1 and ν(Ru-Cl) or(Ru-Br) bands at about 230–380 cm^?1 corresponding to halides at terminal or bridged positions. Two widely separated redox processes, Ru^II/Ru^II←Ru^II/Ru^III→Ru^III/Ru^III, were observed by cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry.     

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. Complex 2 can be transformed in refluxing THF into the phosphido-bridged derivative [Ru₃(μ₃-ampy)(μ-PPh₂)(μ-CO)₂(CO)₆] (4), which contains the PPh₂ ligand spanning one of the two RuRu edges unbridged by the amido moiety, and presents an extremely high ³¹P chemical shift of 386.9 ppm. Under similar conditions, complex 3 gives a mixture of two isomers of [Ru₃(μ-H)(μ₃-ampy)(μ-PPh₂)₂(CO)₆] in a 5:1 ratio; the major product (5) has a plane of symmetry, whereas the minor one (6) is asymmetric.     

Synthesis and X-ray crystal structure of the electron-deficient metal carbonyl cluster [Os3(CO)5(μ3-H)(μ-H)(μ-PtBu2)2(μ-Ph2PCH2PPh2)]

The reaction of [Os₃(CO)₁₀(μ-dppm)] (1) with ^tBu₂PH in refluxing diglyme results in the electron-deficient metal cluster complex [Os₃(CO)₅(μ₃-H)(μ-P^tBu₂)₂(μ-dppm)] (2) (dppm = Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂) in good yields. The molecular structure of 2 has been established by a single crystal X-ray structure analysis. In contrast to the known homologue [Ru₃(μ-CO)(CO)₄(μ₃-H)(μ-H)(μ-P^tBu₂)₂(μ-dppm)] (3), no bridging carbonyl ligand was found in 2. The electronically unsaturated cluster 2 does not react with carbon monoxide under elevated pressure, therefore 2 seems to be coordinatively saturated by reason of the high steric demands of the phosphido ligands.     

New electron-deficient alkene and alkyne derivatives of Ru5(μ5-C)(CO)15: The syntheses and crystal structure analyses of Ru5(μ5-C)(CO)13 [C2H2(CO2Me)2] and Ru5(μ5-C)(CO)15 [C2(CO2Me)2]

Treatment of carbido cluster Ru₅(μ ₅-C)(CO)₁₅ with Me₃NO in acetonitrile solution followed by addition of dimethyl maleate or dimethyl acetylene dicarboxylate affords new clusters Ru₅(μ ₅-C)(CO)₁₃[C₂H₂(CO₂Me)₂] (1) and Ru₅(μ ₅-C)(CO)₁₅[C₂(CO₂Me)₂] (2), respectively. Single crystal X-ray structural studies reveal that both complexes contain a wingtip-bridged butterfly pentametallic skeleton. In complex1 the maleate fragment is coordinated to one wingtip Ru atom through its carbon-carbon double bond and to the adjacent Ru atom by the formation of two O → Ru dative bonding interactions, while the acetylene dicarboxylate fragment in2 is best considered as acis-dimetallated alkene, linking one hinge Ru atom and the nearby Ru atom at the bridged position. Crystal data for1: space group P 4₂/n;a=20.199(6),c=13.941(3) Å,Z=8; finalR _F=0.025,R _w=0.026 for 3963 reflections withI>2σ(I). Crystal data for2: space group P2₁/n;a=9.634(3),b=20.062(6),c=17.372(5) Å,β=90.62(2)°,Z=4; finalR _F=0 033,R _w=0.036 for 4683 reflections withI>3σ(I).     

New triosmium–iridium clusters: Synthesis and molecular structure of [Os3Ir2(Cp1)2(μ-OH)(μ-CO)2(CO)8Cl] (1), [Os3IrCp1(μ-OH)(CO)10Cl] (2), [Os3IrCp1(μ-H)(μ-Cl)(η3,μ3-C5H2N(NH2)Br)(CO)9] (3) and [Os3IrCp1(μ-Cl)2(η2,μ3-C5H3N(NH)Br)(CO)7] (4)

The trinuclear osmium carbonyl cluster, [Os₃(CO)₁₀(MeCN)₂], is allowed to react with 1 equiv. of [IrCp¹Cl₂]₂ (Cp¹ = pentamethylcyclopentadiene) in refluxing dichloromethane to give two new osmium–iridium mixed-metal clusters, [Os₃Ir₂(Cp¹)₂(μ-OH)(μ-CO)₂(CO)₈Cl] (1) and [Os₃IrCp¹(μ-OH)(CO)₁₀Cl] (2), in moderate yields. In the presence of a pyridyl ligand, [C₅H₃N(NH₂)Br], however, the products isolated are different. Two osmium–iridium clusters with different coordination modes of the pyridyl ligand are afforded, [Os₃IrCp¹(μ-H)(μ-Cl)(η³,μ₃-C₅H₂N(NH₂)Br)(CO)₉] (3) and [Os₃IrCp¹(μ-Cl)₂ (η²,μ₃-C₅H₃N(NH)Br)(CO)₇] (4). All of the new compounds are characterized by conventional spectroscopic methods, and their structures are determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.     

Cleavage of 1,4-diphenylbuta-1,3-diyne on a ruthenium-cobalt cluster: Synthesis and molecular structure of Co2Ru3(μ4−C2Ph)(μ3−C2Ph)(μ-dppm)(μ-CO)2(CO)9

The reaction between Ru₃(₃-²-PhC₂C=CPh)(-dppm)(CO)₈ and Co₂(CO)₈ afforded dark red Co₂Ru₃(₄-C₂Ph)(₃-C₂Ph)(-dppm)(-CO)₂(CO)₉, shown by an X-ray structure determination to contain a strongly twisted Co₂Ru₃ bow-tie cluster (central Co), to which two PhC₂ units derived from cleavage of the original diyne are attached. One a these is strongly interacting with four metal atoms, the other being attached in the familiar ¹,2²-mode. The dppm ligand remains bridging two of the Ru atoms.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of Ru3(CO)6(μ3-PPhCH2PPh2)(μ3-CyNC)- (CyNC)2 (Ph), an open trinuclear cluster complex containing an isocyanide ligand acting as a 4-electron donor

Moderate heating of Ru₃(CO)₁₀(dppm) with CyNC (1:3) for 2 h under nitrogen, 68°C and purification by TLC affords moderate yield of the yellow complex Ru₃(CO)₆(μ₃-PPhCH₂PPh₂)(μ₃-CyNC) (Cy-NC)₂(Ph) (1), which has been shown by X-ray crystallography to contain an open Ru₃ cluster with one isocyanide ligand acting as a 4e donor and bonded to all three metal atoms, representing a novel type of bonding of isocyanide on a Ru₃ cluster. Another interesting feature of 1 is the trapping on the cluster of the phenyl group lost from the dppm ligand.     

Synthesis and characterisation of hexanuclear ruthenium clusters containing a μ4-nitrene ligand. Crystal structures of [Ru6(CO)15(μ-CO)2(μ4NH)(μ-OMe)μ3-η2-N(H)C(O)OMe] and [Ru6(CO)16(μ-CO)2(μ4-NH)(μ-OMe)(μ-NCO)]

Two hexaruthenium carbonyl clusters [Ru₆(CO)₁₅(μ-CO)₂(μ₄-NH) (μ-OMe){μ₃-η²-N(H)C(O)OMe}] and [Ru₆(CO)₁₆(μ-CO)₂-(μ₄-NH)(μ-OMe)(μ-NCO)]2 have been isolated from the pyrolysis of H₂Ru₃(CO))₉NOCH₃, and single-crystal X-ray structure analysis shows that both 1 and 2 have a square planar arrangement of four ruthenium atoms capped by a μ₄-nitrene ligand, with two additional ruthenium atoms bridging two opposite RuRu edges of the square base to form a ‘boat’ form metal framework.
