(NBu4)2[Co4(SPh)6Cl4] (1) and [Co4(SPh)6CU(PPh3)2] (2) are prepared by the reaction of (NBu4)[CoCl3(PPh3)] and [CoCl2(PPh3)2] with PhSSiMe3 in toluene solution. The overall description of the Co4S6Cl4 core is that o f a nearly regular Co4-tetrahedron inscribed in an irregular octahedron of the bridging S atoms resulting in an “adamantane” type cage. 1 reacts with Na[Mn(CO)5] to form the dinuclear complex (NBu4)[Mn2(SPh)3(CO)6] (4). Each Mn atom is bound to three CO and three μ2-SPh ligands. The Mn-Mn contact (318.5 pm) does not indicate metal-metal bonding.
(NBu4)[CoCl3(PPh3)] reacts with Se(SiMe3)2 to form the new clusters [Co8Se8(PPh3)6][CoCl3(PPh3)] (6) and [Co8Se8(PPh3)6][Co6Se8(PPh3)6] (7). The structures of 6 and 7 have been determ ined by X-ray diffraction. 6 and 7 crystallize in the space group P1̄ with two formula units per unit cell and with the following lattice constants at 180 K: 6: a = 1413.8(10), b - 2224.2(23), c = 2348.4(17) pm, α = 86.06(5), β = 86.58(5), γ = 76.11(5)°; 7: a = 1465.9(4), b = 1627.6(6), c = 2505.7(6) pm, α - 98.69(2), β = 96.23(2), γ = 113.06(2)°. The cluster structures of the [Co8Se8(PPh3)6]n (n = 0, 1 +) depend on the total number of electrons in the cluster units.
(η5-C5H5)Fe(CO)2Br reacts with Se(SiMe3)2 to form the title compound 1, which has been characterized by X-ray crystal structural analysis. 1 crystallizes in the space group P212121 with 4 formula units per unit cell. 1 consists of [Se{Fe(CO)2(C5H 5)}3]+- cations and [Fe4Se4Br4]2--anions, the latter with a heterocubane structure.
