Abstract: | The bridging vinyl clusters HOs3(CHCHR)(CO)10] (R = H, Ph, or n-Bu) react with PMe2Ph to give the zwitterionic adducts HOs3(CHCHRPMe2Ph)(CO)10] which contain μ2-alkylidene ligands. The adducts are not formed so readily when R = Ph or n-Bu but most readily when polar solvents are used. All three CHCHR complexes add cyanide ion irreversibly to give the anionic clusters which were isolated as N(PPh3)2]HOs3(CHCHRCN)(CO)10]. There is infrared evidence for the addition of various other anions. Acid reverses the addition of methoxide but HCl reacts with the cyanide adduct HOs3(CHCH2CN)(CO)10]? to give HOs3Cl(CO)10] and EtCN. No evidence for nucleophilic addition at HOs3(PhCCHPh)(CO)10] was obtained. |
