Abstract
The reaction of the anion [Fe4(CO)13]- with AuClPR3 (R = Et, Ph) yields an anion which upon protonation gives the cluster Fe4AuC(H)(CO)12(PR3). This complex is reversibly deprotonated in the presence of base and the resultant anion upon treatment with AuClPR3 (R = Et, Ph) gives Fe4Au2C(CO)12(PR3)2; the formation of the latter involves attack at the carbido centre by the gold phosphine group. Both neutral carbido species were characterised by single-crystal X-ray analyses.
