摘要

The reactions of sulfur-capped triiron carbonyl cluster [Et 4N]2[SFe3(CO)9] with 1-6 equiv of copper halides in tetrahydrofuran (THF) at 0 °C led to the formation of a series of CuX-, Cu2X2-, or Cu4X 2-incorporated mono- or di-SFe3-based clusters, [Et 4N]2[SFe3(CO)9CuX] (X = Cl, [Et 4N]2[1a]; Br, [Et4N]2[1b]; I, [Et4N]2[1c]), [Et4N]4[{SFe 3(CO)9CuX}2Cu2X2] (X = Cl, [Et4N]4[2a]; Br, [Et4N]4[2b]), and [Et4N]2[{SFe3(CO)9} 2Cu4X2] (X = Cl, [Et4N] 2[3a]; Br, [Et4N]2[3b]). X-ray analysis showed that each SFe3 core in 1a-1c was bridged by the incoming CuX across the Fe-Fe bond (X = Cl, 1a; Br, 1b; I, 1c); in the case of 2a and 2b, the two SFe3 cores each were bridged by two CuX fragments across the Fe-Fe and S-Fe bonds to form a Cu2X2-linked di-SFe 3CuX cluster (X = Cl, 2a; Br, 2b). In contrast to 2a and 2b, cluster 3a displayed a different di-SFe3-based geometry, in which the two SFe3 moieties were connected by a Cu4Cl2 hexagon. In addition, complexes 1a and 1b were found to undergo cluster expansion reactions to yield 2a and 2b or 3a and 3b upon the treatment of 1 equiv or 3 equiv of CuX (X = Cl, Br), respectively. Furthermore, clusters 2a and 2b could be converted to 3a or 3b upon the addition of 4 equiv of CuX (X = Cl, Br). The nature, formation, and electrochemistry of these copper halide-incorporated mono- or di-SFe3 clusters are elucidated in detail with the aid of molecular calculations at the B3LYP level of the density functional theory in terms of the effects of chalcogens and halides.
