Abstract
The reaction of PtRu5(CO)16(μ6-C),1 with 3-hexyne in the presence of UV irradiation produced two new electron-rich platinum-ruthenium cluster complexes PtRu5(CO)13(μ-EtC2Et)(μ3-EtC2Et)(μ5-C),2 (20% yield) and Pt2Ru6(CO)17(μ-η5-Et4C5)(μ3-EtC2Et) (μ6-C),3 (7% yield). Both compounds were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. Compound2 contains of a platinum capped square pyramidal cluster of five ruthenium atoms with the carbido ligand located in the center of the square pyramid. A EtC2Et ligand bridges one of the PtRu2 triangles and the Ru-Pt bond between the apical ruthenium atom and the platinum cap. The structure of compound3 consists of an octahedral PtRu5 cluster with an interstitial carbido ligand and a platinum atom capping one of the PtRu2 triangles. There is an additional Ru(CO)2 group extending from the platinum atom in the PtRu5 cluster that contains a metallated tetraethylcyclopentadienyl ligand that bridges to the platinum capping group. There is also a EtC2Et ligand bridging one of the PtRu2 triangular faces to the capping platinum atom. Compounds2 and3 both contain two valence electrons more than the number predicted by conventional electron counting theories, and both also possess unusually long metal-metal bonds that may be related to these anomalous electron configurations.
