The self-assembly cyclization reactions of the ether chain-bridged dicyclopentadienyl Mo/Na salts [NaMo(CO)(3)](2)[eta (5)-C5H4CH2(CH2OCH2)(n) CH2C5H4-eta (5)] (Ia-d, n = 1-4)with the same chain-bridged dicyclopentadienyl double clusters [MoCoFe(mu (3)-S)(CO)(8)](2)[eta (5)-C5H4CH2(CH2OCH2)(n) CH2C5H4-eta (5)] (Iia-d, n = 1-4) have been found, depending on the lengths of the bridged ether chains in starting materials I and II, to give several different types of novel organometallic macrocyclic crown ethers. While reaction of the Mo/Na salts (I, n=1, 4) with double clusters (II, n =1, 4) produced single Mo2Fe(mu (3)-S) cluster crown ethers [Mo2Fe(mu (3)-S)(CO)(7)][eta (5)-C5H4CH2(CH2OCH2)(n) CH2C5H4-eta (5)] (IIIa, n = 1; md, n = 4), the Mo/Na salts (I, n = 2, 3) reacted with double clusters (II, n = 2, 3) to afford single, double and triple Mo2Fe(mu (3)-S) cluster crown ethers [Mo2Fe(mu (3)-S)(CO)(7)](m) [eta (5)-C5H4CH2(CH2OCH2)(n) CH2 C5H4-eta (5)](m) (IIIb, n = 2, m = 1; IIIe, n = 3, m = 1; IVb, n = 2, m = 2; IVc, n = 3, m = 2; Vb, n = 2, rn = 3; Vc, n = 3, m = 3), respectively. While structures of IIIa-d, IVb,c and Vb,c were characterized fully by elemental analyses, IR, LH-NMR and FAB-MS spectrocopies, those of ma-c were further confirmed by X-ray diffraction techniques. In addition, the electrochemical properties of IIIa-d, IVb,c and Vb,c have been studied using cyclic voltammetry. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
