Reaction of a mixed-metal cluster HRuCo/sub 3/(CO)/sub 12/ with trimethylamine N-oxide or a series of amines leads to the formation of the amine-substituted clusters of the form HRuCo/sub 3/(CO)/sub 11/L (L = NMe/sub 3/, NEt/sub 3/, NMe/sub 2/Ph, rho-H/sub 2/N(C/sub 6/H/sub 4/)NH/sub 2/, 1,4-cyclohexanediamine (1,4-chxn)) in 20-40% yield. The reaction with N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) gives a disubstituted cluster, HRuCo/sub 3/(CO)/sub 10/(TMEDA). IR and /sup 1/H and /sup 59/Co NMR spectra of these clusters indicate that the substitution of amines for the CO ligand takes place preferentially at the ruthenium atom. On the other hand, the reaction with tertiary phosphines gives the phosphine-substituted clusters HRuCo/sub 3/(CO)/sub 12-x/L/sub x/ (L = PPh/sub 3/, x = 1, 2; L = (diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe), x = 1) in 70-90% yield, where the substitution of phosphines occurs exclusively at the cobalt atom. The structure of HRuCo/sub 3/(CO)/sub 11/(PPh/sub 3/) has been determined by X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in the space group P2/sub 1//c with a = 11.940 (4) A, b = 17.103 (6) A, c = 17.431 (7) A, ..beta.. = 118.55 (3)/sup 0/, and Z = 4. The cluster has a tetrahedral structure similar to that of the parent HRuCo/sub 3/(CO)/sub 12/ cluster, and the phosphine ligand is axially bonded to one of the three basal cobalt atoms.
