Synthesis, Structural Characterization, and DFT Investigations of [M_xM'_5-xFe₄(CO)₁₆]^3- (M, M' = Cu, Ag, Au; M = M') 2-D Molecular Alloy Clusters.

ABSTRACT: Miscellaneous 2-D molecular alloy clusters of the type [M_xM'_5-xFe₄(CO)₁₆]^3- (M, M' = Cu, Ag, Au; M ≠ M') have been prepared through the reactions of [Cu₃Fe₃(CO)₁₂]^3-, [Ag₄Fe₄(CO)₁₆]^4- or [M₅Fe₄(CO)₁₆]^3- (M = Cu, Ag) with M'(I) salts (M' = Cu, Ag, Au). Their formation involves a combination of oxidation, condensation, and substitution reactions. The total structures of several [M_xM'_5-xFe₄(CO)₁₆]^3- clusters with different compositions have been determined by means of single crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) and their nature i
