Abstract: | H2Ru3(μ3-S)(CO)9 is deprotonated by K[HBBus3] to give cluster anions which react with [O{Au(PPh3)}3]+ or with AuCl(PPh3)/T1+ to give HRu3Au(μ3-S)(CO)9(PPh3) (1) and Ru3Au2(μ3-S)(CO)9(PPh3)2 (3). A similar sequence with HRu3(μ3-SBut)(CO)9 leads to Ru3Au(μ3-SBut)(CO)9(PPh3) (2) as the main product although some 1 also forms, indicating SC cleavage competes with deprotonation of HRu3(μ3-SBut)(CO)9 by [HBBus3]?. The X-ray crystal structures of 1, 2 and 3 are described; (1) and (2) have “butterfly” AuRu3 cores with markedly different hinge angles of 119 and 148° respectively, while 3 has a trigonal-bipyramidal Au2Ru3 skeleton. All three clusters have the sulphur atom symmetrically bridging the Ru3 triangular face. |
