Abstract

The mixed-metal cluster anion [Os3W(μ-H)(μ-CO)(CO)13]- has been prepared by the reaction of [Os3(μ-H)(CO)11]- with W(CO)3(MeCN)3, and the dianion, [Os3W(CO)14]2-, may be obtained by subsequent deprotonation. An X-ray analysis of the monoanion shows that the metals adopt a closo-tetrahedral geometry with the W atom coordinated to four terminal and one bridging carbonyl groups. The neutral clusters [Os3WH2(CO)14] and [Os3WH(CO)14] are formed upon treatment of the monoanion with sulphuric acid and iodine, respectively.
