Abstract

The bicyclic diphosphines trans- and cis-2,3-bis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)-5-norbornene (dpmn) react with 1,2-Os₃(CO)₁₀(MeCN)₂ (1) to furnish the corresponding ligand-bridged clusters Os₃(CO)₁₀(trans-dpmn) (2) and Os₃(CO)₁₀(cis-dpmn) (3). Both new products have been isolated and the molecular structures established by X-ray diffraction analyses. The dihydroxyl-bridged cluster 1,2-Os₃(CO)₈(µ-OH)₂(cis-dpmn) (4), which accompanied the formation of 3 in one reaction, has been isolated and characterized by mass spectrometry and X-ray crystallography. Whereas cluster 2 is stable in toluene at 373 K, 3 is thermally sensitive under identical conditions and undergoes loss of CO (2 equiv), coupled with the activation of three norbornene C–H bonds and one P–C(phenyl) bond, to furnish the dihydride cluster H₂Os₃(CO)₈[µ₃-2-PhPC-3-endo-Ph₂PCH₂(C₇H₇)] (5). The solid-state structure of 5 confirms the multiple activation of the cis-dpmn ligand and accompanying formation of the face-capping 2-PhPC-3-endo-Ph₂PCH₂(C₇H₇) moiety in the product. DFT calculations on 2 and 3 indicate that the former cluster is the thermodynamically more stable isomer, and the conversion of 3 → 5 + 2CO + benzene is computed to be exergonic by 12.7 kcal/mol and is entropically favored due to the release of the CO and benzene by-products.
