THE HYDROSULFIDO-BRIDGED DIIRIDIUM AND DIRHODIUM COMPLEXES [CP-ASTERISK-MCL(MU(2)-SH)(2)MCP-ASTERISK-CL] (M=IR, RH CP-ASTERISK=ETA(5)-C(5)ME(5)) AS VERSATILE PRECURSORS FOR TRINUCLEAR AND TETRANUCLEAR SULFIDO CLUSTERS
Z. Tang et al., THE HYDROSULFIDO-BRIDGED DIIRIDIUM AND DIRHODIUM COMPLEXES [CP-ASTERISK-MCL(MU(2)-SH)(2)MCP-ASTERISK-CL] (M=IR, RH CP-ASTERISK=ETA(5)-C(5)ME(5)) AS VERSATILE PRECURSORS FOR TRINUCLEAR AND TETRANUCLEAR SULFIDO CLUSTERS, Organometallics, 16(2), 1997, pp. 151-154
The hydrosulfido-bridged diiridium and dirhodium complexes [CpMCl(mu(
2)-SH)(2)MCpCl] (3, M = Ir; 4, M = Rh; Cp* = eta(5)-C(5)Me(5)) were o
btained by the reaction of [CPMCl(mu(2)-Cl)(2)MCp*Cl] (M = Ir, Rh) wi
th excess H2S gas. Treatment of 3 and 4 with NEt(3) gave the cuboidal
sulfide clusters [(CpM)(4)(mu(3)-S)(4)] (M = Ir, Rh), while their rea
ction with [RhCl(cod)](2) (cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) or [Pd(PPh(3))(4)
] afforded the cationic triangular sulfide clusters [(CpM)(2)Rh(mu(3)
-S)(2)(cod)](+) (M = Ir, Rh) or [(CpIr)(2)Pd(mu(3)-S)(2)Cl(PPh(3))](), respectively.
