Title: Mixed platinum-rhodium carbonyl clusters. Synthesis, reactivity, and chemical characterization of the (PtRh/sub 8/(. mu. /sub 3/-CO)/sub 3/(. mu. -CO)/sub 9/(CO)/sub 7/)/sup 2 -/ anion and X-ray crystal structure of its tetraethylammonium salt

The anion (PtRh/sub 8/(CO)/sub 19/)/sup 2 -/ has been synthesized by reaction of (PtRh/sub 4/(CO)/sub 12/)/sup 2 -/ with Rh/sub 4/(CO)/sub 12/. It shows considerable reactivity toward CO, from which it is readily decomposed. The structure of the dianion has been determined by X-ray analysis of the tetraethylammonium salt. Crystal data: C/sub 35/H/sub 40/N/sub 2/O/sub 19/PtRh/sub 8/, M/sub r/ = 1811.0, orthorhombic, space group Pmnb (nonstandard setting of Pnma (No. 62)), a = 12.338 (3) A, b = 16.340 (3) A, c = 24.385 (8) A, Z = 4; final R = 0.039, R/sub w/ = 0.052. The anion, of crystallographic C/sub s/ symmetry, shows a metallic skeleton that can be described as a stack of three triangles, generating two face-to-face condensed octahedra (the Pt atom being in the central triangle, in one of the positions of highest M-M connectivity); seven carbonyls, out of nineteen, are terminal, nine edge-bridging and three face-bridging. Variable-temperature /sup 13/C NMR spectra show at room temperature complete scrambling of the carbonyls over the metallic frame with simultaneous coupling with all Rh and Pt atoms. At -100/sup 0/C a still partially dynamic situation is observed, which yields an ill-defined spectrum. 13 references, 3 figures, 2 tables.
