The following complexes, in which CpIr(CO)2 acts as a 2e donor ligand, have been prepared: Cp(OC)2IrW(CO)5 (1), Cp(OC)2IrRu(CO)3(SiCl3)2, Cp(OC)2IrOs(CO)3(GeCl3)(Cl) (2), Cp(OC)2IrOs(CO)3(X)2 (X = Cl, Br (3), I). The characterization of the complexes included the crystal structures of 1, 2, and 3, which reveal that all contain an unbridged metal-metal bond. The carbonyl ligands of 1 in solution undergo exchange on the NMR time scale above -40°C. With the exception of 2, all the complexes dissociate in solution at room temperature, some rapidly so. Only in the case of 3 is an equilibrium with the dissociation products established. The results indicate that CpIr(CO)2 is a weak ligand.Key words: tungsten, osmium, iridium, binuclear.

The crystal structures of the chiolite-related room temperature phases α-Na5M3F14 (MIII=Cr,Fe,Ga) are determined. For all of them, the space group is P21/n, Z=2; a=10.5096(3) Å, b=7.2253(2) Å, c=7.2713(2) Å, β=90.6753(7)° (M=Cr); a=10.4342(7) Å, b=7.3418(6) Å, c=7.4023(6) Å, β=90.799(5)° (M=Fe), and a=10.4052(1) Å, b=7.2251(1) Å, c=7.2689(1), β=90.6640(4)° (M=Ga). Rietveld refinements produce final RF factors 0.036, 0.033, and 0.035, and RWP factors, 0.125, 0.116, and 0.096, for MIII=Cr, Fe, and Ga, respectively. The MF6 polyhedra in the defective isolated perovskite-like layers deviate very few from perfect octahedra. Subtle octahedra tiltings lead to the symmetry decrease from the P4/mnc space group adopted by the Na5Al3F14 chiolite aristotype to the P21/n space group adopted by the title series. Facile twinning precluded till now the precise characterization of these compounds.

Complexes of formula (X)[Os(CO)3(CN-t-Bu)]nMn(CO)5 (X = Cl, Br, I; n = 1, 2, 3) have been prepared by the reaction of Os(CO)4(CN-t-Bu) with Mn(CO)5(X) in hexane at room temperature. The characterization of the complexes included the crystal structures of compounds with X = I, n = 1, 3 and X = Cl, Br, n = 2 (2ClA and 2BrB). The trinuclear products were isolated as two isomers. The major isomer (2XA) has an isocyanide ligand attached to each osmium atom, whereas the minor isomer (2XB) has both of these ligands bound to the terminal Os atom. The structures contain OsnMn chains with unbridged Os—Mn bonds (range of lengths are 2.870(1)–2.9245(8) Å) and for compounds with n = 2 or 3 Os—Os bonds (range of lengths are 2.8812(4)–2.8928(5) Å). The mechanism of formation is believed to involve replacement of a CO ligand with the 18e- ligand Os(CO)4(CN-t-Bu) at the metal with the coordinated halide, followed by a rearrangement in which the halide ligand migrates to the donor Os atom with concomitant migration in the reverse direction of a carbonyl ligand. The preparation of (OC)4(t-BuNC)OsMn(CO)4(Cl) with an Os–Mn dative bond is also reported along with the (OC)4(t-BuNC)OsRe(CO)4(X) analogues.Key words: manganese–osmium, rhenium–osmium, dinuclear, metal chain, dative metal–metal bond.
