Reactivities of activated metal carbonyl clusters. Ligand substitution kinetics of the methoxycarbonyl adduct Ru/sub 3/(CO)/sub 11/(CO/sub 2/CH/sub 3/)/sup -/
Reported are results of a kinetic study which demonstrates that the methylcarbonyl adduct Ru/sub 3/(CO)/sub 11/(CO/sub 2/CH/sub 3/)/sup -/ is much more labile than its parent compound Ru/sub 3/(CO)/sub 12/. Reaction of the adduct with trimethylphosphite in 10/90 tetrahydrofuran/CH/sub 3/OH under CO and excess P(OCH/sub 3/)/sub 3/ produced Ru/sub 3/(CO)/sub 11/P(OCH/sub 3/)/sub 3/. A reaction mechanism is proposed. A value for the equilibrium constant has been calculated: 10.4 +- 1.15/sup -1/ at 25/sup 0/C. ..delta..H = 12 +- 2 Kcal/mol and ..delta..S = -13 +- (cal/K)/mol. The marked enhancement of the substitution lability of the trinuclear clusters upon forming the methoxycarbonyl adducts is significant. The half-life (0.0875) of the equation is 3 orders of magnitude shorter than that observed for the reaction of Ru/sub 3/(CO)/sub 12/ under analogous conditions. 16 references, 1 figure.
