New adamantane-like mercury-chalcogen cages. Synthetic and multinuclear (/sup 31/P, /sup 77/Se, /sup 199/Hg) NMR study of ((. mu. -ER)/sub 6/(HgL)/sub 4/)/sup 2 +/ (E = S or Se; L = tertiary phosphine or arsine) and related species with mixed ligands
Reaction between HgL/sub 2/(ClO/sub 4/)/sub 2/, Hg(ER)/sub 2/, and L in a 1:3:2 ratio produces the isolable salts ((..mu..-ER)/sub 6/(HgL)/sub 4/)(ClO/sub 4/)/sub 2/ (L = PPh/sub 3/, ER = SePh, SPh, SMe, or SEt; L = AsPh/sub 3/, ER = SPh; L = PEt/sub 3/, ER = SePh or SPh). Multinuclear (/sup 31/P, /sup 77/Se, /sup 199/Hg) NMR was used to demonstrate the adamantanoid structure of the cations in these salts as well as in those with L = PPh/sub 3/ and ER = S-n-Pr, S-n-Bu, or S-n-C/sub 5/H/sub 11/, which were studied in situ. To confirm that the new cations contain the hitherto unobserved (..mu..-ER)/sub 6/Hg/sub 4/ core, several series of clusters with mixed ligands were investigated (as ClO/sub 4//sup -/ salts) by the multinuclear NMR technique also. The systems ((..mu..-ER)/sub 6/(HgL)/sub 4/)/sup 2 +/-((..mu..-ER)/sub 6/(HgL')/sub 4/)/sup 2 +/ (ER = SePh, L = PPh/sub 3/, L' = PEt/sub 3/; ER = SPh, L = PPh/sub 3/, L' = PEt/sub 3/ or AsPh/sub 3/) give the series ((..mu..-ER)/sub 6/(HgL)/sub 4-n/(HgL')/sub n/)/sup 2 +/ (n = 0-4). The related species ((..mu..-SPh)/sub 6/(HgPPh/sub 3/)/sub 4-n/(HgSbPh/sub 3/)/sub n/)/sup 2 +/ (n = 0-2 and possibly 3) were produced from Hg(PPhh/sub 3/)/sub 2/(ClO/sub 4/)/sub 2/, Hg(SPh)/sub 2/, and SbPh/sub 3/. From the notably rich /sup 31/P and /sup 199/Hg NMR spectra of the system ((..mu..-SPh)/sub 6/(HgPPh/sub 3/)/sub 4/)/sup 2 +/-((..mu..-SePh)/sub 6/(HgPPh/sub 3/)/sub 4/)/sup 2 +/ it was possible to demonstrate the existence of every possible mixed-chalcogen core in the series ((..mu..-SPh)/sub 6-m/(..mu..-SePh)/sub m/(HgPPh/sub 3/)/sub 4/)/sup 2 +/ (m = 0-6). The new (..mu..-SR)/sub 6/Hg/sub 4/ cages are possible models for the proposed Hg/sub 4/(Cys)/sub 11/ cluster in Hg/sub 7/-metallothionein. 46 references, 3 figures, 2 tables.
