Abstract
The substitutional reactivity of the mixed-metal clusters FeRu2(CO)12 and Fe2Ru(CO)l2has been investigated as a comparison to Fe3(CO)]2and Ru3(CO)12. The reactions are first order in cluster with only a very small dependence on the entering ligand (L = PPh3 or P(OMe)3), consistent with a dissociative interchange mechanism. The activation parameters and all other data are consistent with CO dissociation as the rate-determining step. FeRu2(CO)12undergoes substitution to FeRu2(CO)10L2(both ligands substituted on ruthenium) with no evidence for a monosubstituted cluster. Substitution on Fe2Ru(CO)12leads initially to Fe2Ru(CO)11L (substitution on ruthenium) and subsequently to Fe2Ru(CO)10L2 (substitution on iron and ruthenium). CO dissociation from Fe2Ru(CO)12and FeRu2(CO)12occurs more rapidly than from Fe3(CO)12or from Ru3(CO)12, suggesting a metal center effect on CO dissociation.
