Synthesis of Trinuclear Carbonylmanganates and Their Reaction Products with InCl3; X‐ray Structure Determinations of K3[Mn3(μ‐CO)2(CO)10], [(C6H5)4As]2[(μ‐H)Mn3(μ‐CO)10], [{(C6H5)3P}2N]2[μ‐H)Mn3(CO)12], [(C6H5)4As]2[{μ‐H)Mn3(CO)12}2(μ4‐In)] und [(C6H5)4As]2[{(μ‐H)Mn3(CO)12}(μ3‐In){Mn(CO)5}Cl]
Mn2(CO)10 reacts with KOH in aqueous solution to give the potassium carbonylmanganate K3[Mn3(μ‐CO)2(CO)10] (1). The trianion 1 is isoelectronic with Fe3(CO)12 and is protonated with methanol to form the μ‐hydrido cluster [(μ‐H)Mn3;‐(CO)12]3⊖, which is precipitated with [{(C6H5)3P}2N]Cl as [{(C6H5)3P}2N]2[(μ‐H)Mn3(CO)12] (2), whereas the carbonyl‐bridged μ‐hydrido species [(μ‐H)Mn3(μ‐CO)2(CO)10]2⊖ seems to be trapped as the [(C6H5)4As]⊕ salt 3. The reaction of 3 with InCl3 yields the Mn‐In clusters [(C6H5)4As]2[{(μ‐H)Mn3(CO)12}2;‐(μ4‐In) (4) and [(C6H5)4As]2[{(μ‐H)Mn3(CO)12}(μ3‐In){Mn(CO)5}Cl] (5). X‐ray structure analyses have been carried out for the compounds 1 – 5.
[CpMo(CO)3]2 (1) (Cp = cyclopentadienyl) reacts with InCl3 in diglyme to yield the oxo-cluster [Cp3Mo3(CO)4(μ-Cl)(μ3-O)] (2) and the cationic oxo-cluster [Cp3Mo3(μ-CO)3(CO)3(μ3-O)]+ as the salt [Cp3Mo3(μ-CO)3(CO)3(μ3-O)][CpMo(CO)3InCl3] (3). The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, spectroscopic data and X-ray structure analysis. Compound 2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P212121 with a = 1006.0(3), b = 1244.6(4) and c = 1600.8(5) pm, V = 2004.3 x 106 pm3, Z = 4. Compound 3 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P 21/m with a = 874.4(8), b = 1407(1) and c = 1500(1) pm, β = 92.95(6) , V = 1843 × 106 pm3, Z = 2.
