Abstract

The new clusters HFeRu2(μ-CX)(CO)10 (X = OMe, NMe2) have been prepared in low yield by metal fragment exchange. Hydrogenation of HFeRu2(μ-COMe)(CO)10 yields H3FeRu23-COMe)(CO)9. For X = NMe2 reaction with PPh3 gives HFeRu2(μ-CNMe2)(CO)9(PPh3) and HFeRu2(μ-CNMe2)(CO)8(PPh3)2 with all substitutions on Ru. Kinetic studies of substitution by PPh3 on HFe3(μ-CNMe2)(CO)10 and on HFeRu2(μ-CNMe2)(CO)10 found that the mechanism involves rate-determining CO dissociation. The order of relative rates for substitution, FeRu2 > Fe3 > Ru3, suggests that CO dissociation occurs from Fe. The higher rate for the mixed-metal cluster is attributed to labilization of the Fe center by the Ru “ligand”.
