Reaktion von [Co(But 2PH)2I2] mit [Ru3(CO)12]: Synthese und Röntgenkristallstrukturanalyse von [Ru3(CO)6(μ-H)(μ-I)2(μ-PBut 2)(But 2PH)]/ Reaction of [Co(But 2PH)2I2] with [Ru3(CO)12]: Synthesis and X-Ray Crystal Structure of [Ru3(CO)6(μ-H)(μ-I)2(μ-PBut 2)(But 2PH)]

Abstract

Abstract [Co(But 2PH)2I2] (1) reacts with [Ru3(CO)12] in refluxing toluene to give a mixture of products including the novel metal clusters [Ru3(CO)6(μ-H)(μ-I)2(μ-PBut 2)(But 2PH)] (2) and [Ru3(CO)7(μ-H)(μ-I)(μ-PBut 2)2] (3) besides the known complex [Ru3(CO)8(μ-H)2(μ3- PBut)(But 2PH)] (4). No cluster expansion products could be observed. Thus the cobalt compound acts merely as a phosphine and iodine transfer reagent. The molecular structures of the metal complexes 1 and 2 were determined by single-crystal X-ray structure analyses. 1 crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P4̄21c with a = 13.230(3), b = 13.230(3), c = 14.788(3)Å, V = 2588.4(9)A . 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with a = 18.161(2), b = 10.292(2), c = 18.381(2)Å, β = 108.73(10)°, V= 3253.7(8)Å3.
