Towards clustered carbonyl cations [M3(CO)14]2+ (M = Ru, Os): the need for innocent deelectronation.


ABSTRACT: To access the hitherto almost unknown class of clustered transition metal carbonyl cations, the trimetal dodecacarbonyls M3(CO)12 (M = Ru, Os) were reacted with the oxidant Ag+[WCA]-, but yielded the silver complexes [Ag{M3(CO)12}2]+[WCA]- (WCA = [Al(ORF)4]-, [F{Al(ORF)3}2]-; RF = -OC(CF3)3). Addition of further diiodine I2 to increase the redox potential led for M = Ru non-specifically to divalent mixed iodo-RuII-carbonyl cations. With [NO]+, even the N-O bond was cleaved and led to the butterfly carbonyl complex cation [Ru4N(CO)13
