Infrared Photodissociation Spectroscopy of Heteronuclear Group 15 Metal–Iron Carbonyl Cluster Anions AmFe(CO)n− (A = Sb, Bi; m, n = 2, 3)

Heteronuclear Group 15 metal–iron carbonyl cluster complexes of AmFe(CO)n− (A = Sb, Bi; m, n = 2–3) were generated in the gas phase and studied by infrared photodissociation spectroscopy in...

One-Pot Atmospheric Pressure Synthesis of [H3Ru4(CO)12]–

Reductive carbonylation of RuCl3•3H2O at CO-atmospheric pressure results in the [H3Ru4(CO)12]– (1) polyhydride carbonyl cluster. This one-pot synthesis involves heating RuCl3•3H2O at 80 °C in 2-ethoxyethanol for 2 h, addition...

1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3-Octacarbonyl-1,1,2,3-tetrakis(1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphatricyclo[3.3.1.13,7]decane-κP)-triangulo-triosmium(0)

The title compound, [Os3(C6H12N3P)4(CO)8], crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca with Z = 8. The molecule consists of a triangular triosmium(0) core surrounded by eight carbonyl ligands and four 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphatricyclo[3.3.1.13,7]decane (or PTA) ligands. One Os atom is coordinated by two PTA ligands and two CO ligands, while the other two Os atoms are each bonded to a single PTA ligand and three CO ligands. There is a small disorder associated with the Os3 unit so that a minor orientation has an occupancy of 2.17 (4)%. The title compound represents the first structurally characterized triangular Os3 carbonyl cluster with four monodentate tertiary phosphane ligands.
