摘要
Reaction of Mo2Ir3(-CO)(3)(CO)(6)((5)-C5H5)(2)((5)-C5Me5) with Ir(CO)(2)((5)-C5Me4H) afforded the four-valence-electron-deficient butterfly cluster Ir-4(CO)(6)((5)-C5Me4H)(2); its stability has been rationalized with the aid of density functional theory calculations, which suggest that significant additional intracluster bonding alleviates the formal electron deficiency. Reaction of MoIr4(CO)(10)((5)-C5H5)((5)-C5Me5) with [N(PPh3)(2)][Ir(CO)(4)] afforded the capped octahedral cluster Ir-7((3)-CO)(3)(CO)(12)((5)-C5Me5), which possesses three semi-face-capping CO ligands. These outcomes demonstrate that heterometallic clusters may serve as a potential source of new homometallic clusters following appropriate M-M cleavage.
