摘要:
The monomeric fragment In-C(SiMe3)(3) with a monovalent indium atom is isolobal with carbon monoxide. It is probably formed as a reactive intermediate on heating solutions of the tetrahedral cluster compound In-4[C(SiMe3)(3)](4) (1) in hexane and reacts with Fe-3(CO)(12) and Fe-2(CO)(9) to yield by the substitution of bridging CO ligands three novel irnn indium compuunds, Fe-3(CO)(10)(u-InR)(2) (2), Fe-2(CO)(8)(u-InR) (3), and Fe-2(CO)(6)(u-CO)(u-InR)(2) (4), which all were characterized by crystal structure determinations (2: C30H54Fe3In2O10Si6, monoclinic, p2(1)/n, a = 1436.1(2) pm, b = 1992.9(3) pm, c = 1764.8(3) pm, beta = 107.02(2)degrees. 3: C18H27Fe2InO8Si3, monoclinic, C2/c, a = 1527.8(3) pm, b = 960.3(2) pm, c = 3755.4(8) pm, beta = 90.17(3)degrees. 4: C27H54Fe2In2O7Si6, triclinic, P (1) over bar, a = 959.3(1) pm, b = 1506.7(2) pm, c = 1561.4(1) pm, alpha = 86.11(1)degrees, beta = 88.76(1)degrees, gamma = 73.57(1)degrees). While both products 2 and 4 are isostruclural with the pure carbonyls with two or three bridging groups, respectively, compound 3 has only one bridging InR group besides eight terminal carbonyl ligands. The Fe-In bond lengths are quite similar (255.9-260.5 pm), but the Fe-Fe distances differ significantly with 286.7(1) pm for the bridged Fe-Fe bond in 2, 289.3(1) pm in 3, and 275.87(5) pm in 4. They all are much elongated compared to the starting carbonyl complexes.
