Synthesis and characterisation of [Fe2M3(mu(4)-E)(mu(3)-E ')(CO)(17)] and [Os-3(mu(3)-E)(mu(3)-E ')(CO)(9)] (M = Os or Ru; E = S, Se, Te; E ' = Se, Te)
P. Mathur et al., Synthesis and characterisation of [Fe2M3(mu(4)-E)(mu(3)-E ')(CO)(17)] and [Os-3(mu(3)-E)(mu(3)-E ')(CO)(9)] (M = Os or Ru; E = S, Se, Te; E ' = Se, Te), J ORGMET CH, 606(2), 2000, pp. 176-182
A set of new chalcogen-bridged mixed metal clusters [Fe2Os3(mu(4)-E)(mu(3)-
E')(CO)(17)] (2, EE' = SeTe; 3, EE' = STe; 4, EE' = Se-2; 5 EE' = SSe) and
[Fe2Ru3(mu(4)-E)(mu(3)-E')(CO)(17)] (12, EE' = SeTe; 13, EE' = STe; 14, EE'
= Se-2; 15, EE' = SSe) has been synthesised by facile methods. Thermolysis
or photolysis of compounds 2, 3 and 5 afforded the new triosmium mixed cha
lcogenide clusters [Os-3(mu(3)-E)(mu(3)-E)(CO)(9)] (7, EE' = SeTe; 8, EE' =
STe; 10, EE' = SSe). All new compounds were characterised by IR and H-1-,
Se-77- and Te-125-NMR spectroscopy. Clusters 8, 9 and 12 were structurally
characterised by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. (C) 2000 Publish
