Hydrocarbon‐Bridged Complexes, XXX. — Nucleophilic Addition of Carbonylmetallates to Cationic Vinyl, Diene, Dienyl and Triene Complexes of Iron, Ruthenium and Cobalt: Di‐, Tri‐, Tetra‐ and Pentametallic Complexes with σ,σ‐ and σ,π‐Hydrocarbon Bridges
The reactions of [Re(CO)5]−, [Ru(CO)2Cp]−, and [Os(CO)4]2− with [Cp2(OC)2Fe2(μ‐CO)(μ‐η1:η2‐CH=CH2)]+, [Cp*Ru(η2:η4‐1,3,7‐octatriene)]+, [(OC)Fe(η4‐diene)(η5‐cycloheptadienyl)]+, and [CpCo(η5‐cyclodienyl)]+ give the nucleophilic adducts whereas with [Mn(CO)5]−, [W(CO)3Cp]−, and [Fe(CO)2Cp]− formation of the corresponding C‐C coupling products and of the metal‐metal‐bonded dimers is observed. The structures of Cp*Ru(μ‐η1:η2:η3‐1,5‐octadienyl)Re(CO)5 (4), [Cp* Ru(μ‐η1:η2:η3‐1,5‐octadienyl)]2Os(CO)4 (6), and of (OC)‐Fe(η4‐1,3‐cyclohexadiene) (μ‐η1:η4‐1,3‐cycloheptadiene)Re(CO)5 (9) have been determined by X‐ray diffraction.
