“…A variety of interesting cluster compounds results formally from the interaction of the octahedral [Re 6 (μ 6 -C)(CO) 18 ] 4- cluster core with one or more electrophilic moieties. − The set for one added electrophile (X + = H + , Re(CO) 3 + , M(CO) n 2+ , Re(CO) 3 L 3+ ) includes the clusters [HRe 6 C(CO) 18 ] 3- , [Re 7 C(CO) 21 ] 3- , [Re 6 C(CO) 18 M(CO) n ] 2- (M = Ru, n = 3; M = Mo, n = 4), and [Re 7 C(CO) 21 P(OPh) 3 ] 1- [HRe 7 C(CO) 21 ] 2- , , [Re 8 C(CO) 24 ] 2- , and [Re 7 C(CO) 21 ML n ] 2- (M = Rh, , Ir, 9,11 Pd, 9,12 Pt, Cu, Ag, Au, 6,13 Hg, Tl 15 ), and the only previously reported example of three added electrophiles (X + , Y + , Z + = H + , H + , Re(CO) 3 + ) is [H 2 Re 7 C(CO) 21 ] 1- …”
