Abstract

A facile synthesis of the novel selenium-capped trimolybdenum and tritungsten ring carbonyl clusters [Se₂M₃(CO) ₁₀]^2- (M = Mo, 1; W, 4) have been achieved. The selenium-capped trimolybdenum cluster compound [Et₄N] ₂[Se₂Mo₃(CO)₁₀] ([Et ₄N]₂[1]) can be obtained from the reaction of the trichromium cluster compound [Et₄N]₂[Se₂Cr ₃(CO)₁₀] with 4 equiv. of Mo(CO)₆ in refluxing acetone. On the other hand, when [Et₄N]₂[Se ₂Cr₃(CO)₁₀] reacted with 4 equiv. of W(CO) ₆ in refluxing acetone, the planar cluster compound [Et ₄N]₂[Se₂W₄(CO)₁₈] ([Et₄N]₂[3]) was isolated, which could further transform to the tritungsten cluster compound [Et₄N]₂[Se ₂W₃(CO)₁₀] ([Et₄N]₂[4]) in good yield. Alternatively, clusters 1 and 4 could be formed from the reactions of the monosubstituted products [Et₄N]₂[Se ₂Cr₂M(CO)₁₀] (M = Mo; W, [Et₄N] ₂[2]) with 3 equiv. of M(CO)₆ in acetone, respectively. Complexes 1-4 are fully characterized by IR, ⁷⁷Se NMR spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray analysis. Clusters 1, 2, and 4 are isostructural and each display a trigonal bipyramidal structure with a homometallic M₃ ring (M = Mo, 1; W, 4) or a heterometallic Cr₂W ring that is further capped above and below by μ₃-Se atoms. Further, the intermediate planar complex 3 exhibits a Se₂W₂ square with each Se atom externally coordinated to one W(CO)₅ group. This paper describes a systematic route to a series of selenium-capped trimetallic carbonyl clusters and the formation and the structural features of the resultant clusters are discussed.
