The reactions of [M3(CO)12] (M=Ru or Fe) with 1,2 bis[(diphenylphosphino)methyl]benzene diselenide (dpmbSe2) in hot toluene afford a variety of phosphine-substituted selenido carbonyl clusters. They belong to the following three families: (i) 50-electron clusters with a M3Se2 core (2, 3, 5-7), (ii) 48-electron clusters with a M3Se core (1, 8), (iii) 34-electron clusters with a M2Se2 core (4). All these species derive from the P=Se bond cleavage. Cluster 1, which contains a hydrido, a phosphido, and a carbene ligand, is produced by multiple fragmentation of the diphosphine. This fragmentation appears related to the presence of the selenido ligand on the cluster, as the reaction of [Ru3(CO)12] with dpmb (not selenized) produces only carbonyl substitution by the phosphine to give [Ru3(CO)10(mu-dpmb)] (9). All the clusters synthesized have been characterized by spectroscopic techniques, and in some cases fluxional behavior has been detected in solution by NMR analysis. The structures of 1, 2, and 7-9 have been determined by X-ray diffraction methods.

Towards clustered carbonyl cations [M(CO)] (M = Ru, Os): the need for innocent deelectronation.

To access the hitherto almost unknown class of clustered transition metal carbonyl cations, the trimetal dodecacarbonyls M(CO) (M = Ru, Os) were reacted with the oxidant Ag[WCA], but yielded the silver complexes [Ag{M(CO)}][WCA] (WCA = [Al(OR)], [F{Al(OR)}]; R = -OC(CF)). Addition of further diiodine I to increase the redox potential led for M = Ru non-specifically to divalent mixed iodo-Ru-carbonyl cations. With [NO], even the N-O bond was cleaved and led to the butterfly carbonyl complex cation [RuN(CO)] in low yield.

In this paper, we use a combination of photoelectron spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and density functional theory calculations to get a detailed understanding of valence single and double ionization and the subsequent dissociation processes. This is exemplified on benchmark systems, trimetallo-dodecacarbonyls M3(CO)12 with M = Ru, Os, where the energy remaining in the molecule after photoionization can be retrieved by measuring the degree of fragmentation of the molecular ion. The intensity of different mass peaks can thus be directly related to ionization cross sections obtained by photoelectron spectroscopy.

Tricarbonyl[9-(triphenylphosphonio)fluorenylidene]ruthenium, [Ru(C31H21P)(CO)3], (I), is mononuclear, consisting of a single Ru centre, to which three carbonyl units and a chelating μ3-9-(triphenylphosphonio)fluorenide ylide bind to generate a distorted octahedral RuC6 core. Nonacarbonyl-μ3-fluorenylidene-μ2-hydrido-triangulo-triosmium(III), [Os3H(C13H7)(CO)9], (II), is trinuclear and presents a triangular triosmium core, nine carbonyl ligands and one fluorenylidene ligand. Two of the Os(III) centres present a highly distorted hexacoordinated Os(Os2C4) core and are in turn bridged by a hydride ligand.

Inventing new wheels: reaction of [M(3)(CO)(12) ] (M=Ru, Os) with 4-RC(6)H(4)SH afforded [{M(S-4-RC(6)H(4))(2)(CO)(2)}(8)] (R=H; I) or [{M(S-4-RC(6)H(4))(2)(CO)(2)}(6)] (R=Me, iPr; II; see scheme), all of which have been structurally characterized. The octamers I are unique metal molecular wheels featuring skew-edge-shared octahedra with a central planar M(8) octagon.

The structure of Fe(3)(BF)(3)(CO)(9) is predicted to be very different than that of any of the isoelectronic homoleptic M(3)(CO)(12) derivatives (M = Fe, Ru, Os). Thus the lowest energy Fe(3)(BF)(3)(CO)(9) structure by approximately 19 kcal/mol has mu(3)-BF groups bridging the top and bottom of the Fe(3) triangle with a third edge-bridging BF group in addition to nine terminal carbonyl groups. No analogous M(3)(CO)(12) structures are found with mu(3)-CO groups bridging the M(3) triangle.
