Abstract

The ionic coupling of [Os₄H₂(CO)₁₂]_2- with [Ru(η⁶-C₆H₆)(MeCN)₃]^2- affords the neutral mixed metal cluster Os₄Ru( μ-H)₂(CO)₁₂(η⁶-C₆H₆) 1. The reaction of 1 with trimethylphosphite leads to the initial formation of the addition product Os₄Ru( μ-H)₂(CO)₁₂(η⁶-C₆H₆)P(OMe)₃ 2, but this complex rearranges in solution to give Os₄Ru( μ-H)₃(CO)₁₂(μ₃-η⁶-C₆H₅)P(OMe)₃ 3. An X-ray structure of 3 shows that the metal core of the cluster is a ruthenium-spiked Os₄ tetrahedron, with one hydrogen atom from the arene having transferred to the Os₄ core, and one arene carbon bridging an Os-Os edge, while the ring as a whole remains η⁶-bound to the Ru atom.
