Abstract

Electron-transfer reactions between trinuclear dianions M3(CO)112− and neutral clusters M′3(CO)12 occur for M = Os, M′ = Fe and Ru and for M = Ru, M′ = Fe, producing the new clusters and cluster dianions M′3− (CO)112− and M3(CO)12. The reactions are consistent with the two-electron potentials obtained from reactions of the clusters with mononuclear anions. Isotopic labeling is inconsistent with a CO2+ transfer and indicates an outer-sphere electron-transfer mechanism through odd-electron intermediates.
