Abstract
The reactions of appropriate ratios of K2TeO3 and [Mn2(CO)10] in superheated methanol solutions lead to a series of novel cluster anions [Te4Mn3(CO)10]- (1), [Te2Mn3(CO)9]2- (2), [Te2Mn3(CO)9]- (3), and [Te2Mn4- (CO)12]2- (4). When cluster 1 is treated with [Mn2(CO)10]/KOH in methanol, paramagnetic cluster 2 is formed in moderate yield. Cluster 2 is oxidized by [Cu(MeCN)4]BF4 to give the closo-cluster [Te2Mn3(CO)9]- (3), while treatment of 2 with [Mn2(CO)10]/KOH affords the closo-cluster 4. IR spectroscopy showed that cluster 1 reacted with [Mn2(CO)10] to give cluster 4 via cluster 2. Clusters 1-4 were structurally characterized by spectroscopic methods or/and X-ray analyses. The core structure of 1 can be described as two [Mn(CO)3] groups doubly bridged by two Te2 fragments in a μ2-η2 fashion. Both [Mn(CO)3] groups are further coordinated to one [Mn(CO)4] moiety. Cluster 2 is a 49 e- species with a square-pyramidal core geometry. While cluster 3 displays a trigonal-bipyramidal metal core, cluster 4 possesses an octahedral core geometry.
