Deprotonation of the phosphamonocarbaborane, exo-6-R-arachno-6,7-PCB8H12 (R = Ph 1a or Me 1b), yields exo-6-R-arachno-6,7-PCB8H11-, which when reacted with appropriate transition-metal reagents affords new metallaphosphamonocarbaborane complexes in which the metals adopt endo-eta(1), exo-eta(1), eta(4), eta(5), or eta(6) coordination geometries bonded to the formal R-arachno-PCB8H11-, R-arachno-PCB8H102-, R-arachno-PCB8H93-, or R-nido-PCB8H9- ligands. The reaction of exo-6-(C6H5)-arachno-6,7-PCB8H11- (1a(-)) with Mn(CO)(5)Br generated the eta(1)-sigma product exo-6-[Mn(CO)(5)]-endo-6-(C6H5)-arachno-6,7-PCB8H11 (2) having the [Mn(CO)(5)] fragment in the thermodynamically favored exo position at the P6 cage atom. On the other hand, reaction of 1a(-) with (eta(5)-C5H5)Fe(CO)(2)1 resulted in the formation of two products, an eta(1)-sigma complex endo-6-[(eta(5)-C5H5)Fe(CO)(2)]-exo-6-(C6H5)-arachno-6,7-PCB8H11 (3) having the (eta(5)-C5H5)Fe(CO)(2) fragment attached at the endo-P6 position and an eta(6)-closo complex, 1-(eta(5)-C5H5)-2-(C6H5)-closo-1,2,3-FePCB8H9 (4a). Rearrangement of the endo-compound 3 to its exo-isomer 5 was observed upon photolysis of 3. Synthesis of the methyl analogue of 4a, 1-(eta(5)-C5H5)-2-CH3-closo-1,2,3-FePCB8H9 (4b), along with a double-insertion product, 1-CH3-2,3-(eta(5)-C5H5)(2)-2,3,1,7-Fe2PCB8H9 (6), containing two iron atoms eta(5)-Coordinated to a formal R-arachno-PCB8H93-, was achieved by reaction of exo-6-CH3-arachno-6,7-PCB8H11- (1b(-)) with FeCl2 and Na+C5H5-. Complexes 4a and 4b can be considered ferrocene analogues, in which an Fe(II) is sandwiched between C5H5- and 6-R-nido-6,9-PCB8H9- anions. Reaction of exo-6-(C6H5)-arachno-6,7-PCB8H11- (1a(-)) with cis-dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)platinum (11) afforded two compounds, an eta(1)-sigma complex with the metal fragment again in the endo-P6 position, endo-6-[cis-(Ph3P)(2)PtCl]-exo-6-(C6H5)-arachno-6,7-PCB8H11 (7) and an eta(4)-complex, 7-(C6H5)-11-(Ph3P)(2)-nido-11,7,8-PtPCB8H10 (8) containing the formal R-arachno-PCB8H102- anion. The structures of compounds 2, 3, 4a, 4b, 6, 7, and 8 were crystallographically confirmed.
