Abstract

Reactions of electrophiles with [Rh17S2(CO)32]3-, produce the adducts [Rh17S2(CO)32E]2-, E = Au(PPh3), Au(PPh2Me), Ag, Rh(COD), Pt(COD)Cl, and Pd(COD)Cl, characterized by spectroscopic methods. The 13C NMR spectrum of [Rh17S2(CO)32Au(PPh3)]2- suggests that addition of the electrophile occurs at a Rh-Rh edge between the basal and internal Rh4 planes. Cyclic voltammo-grams for [Rh17S2(CO)32]3- and [Rh, 7S2(CO)32AuL]2- show several irreversible oxidation processes but two 1-electron reductions, the first of which is nearly reversible.
