The new [Ni(12)Au(CO)(24)](3-) cluster is composed by two [Ni(6)(CO)(12)](2-) moieties coordinated to a central Au(I) ion, as determined by X-ray diffraction. It is noteworthy that the two [Ni(6)(CO)(12)](2-) fragments display different geometries, i.e., trigonal antiprismatic (distorted octahedral) and distorted trigonal prismatic (monocapped square pyramidal). The chemical reactivity of these clusters and their electrochemical behavior have been studied. [Ni(12)Au(CO)(24)](3-) is irreversibly transformed, upon electrochemical reduction, into Au(0) and [Ni(6)(CO)(12)](2-), followed by the reversible reduction of the latter homometallic cluster. Conversely, [Ni(32)Au(6)(CO)(44)](6-) displays five reductions, with apparent features of reversibility, confirming the ability of larger metal carbonyl clusters to reversibly accept and release electrons.

This reacts with strong acids such as HBF4 to afford, first, the [HPt4(CO)4(PP)2]+ monohydride monocation and, then, the [H2Pt4(CO)4(PP)2]2+ dihydride dication. The three clusters have been fully characterized in solution by means of IR and 1H and 31P NMR spectroscopy. Both Pt4(CO)4(PP)2 and [H2Pt4(CO)4(PP)2]2+ are static in solution, whereas [HPt4(CO)4(PP)2]+ displays a fluxional behavior of the unique hydride ligand. In addition, the molecular structures of all these clusters have been fully determined in the solid state via single-crystal X-ray diffraction, showing that all of them possess the same 56-electron tetrahedral Pt4(CO)4(PP)2 core to which the hydride ligands are added stepwise.

Further addition of PPh3 results in the elimination of the neutral Pt3(CO)3(PPh3)3 species and formation of lower nuclearity anionic clusters. [Pt12(CO)22(PPh3)2](2-) and [Pt9(CO)16(PPh3)2](2-) have been structurally characterized, and they maintain the trigonal prismatic structures of the parent homoleptic clusters, with the two PPh3 ligands bonded to different external Pt3-triangles in relative cis-position. Conversely, the crystal structure of [Pt6(CO)10(PPh3)2](2-) shows that its metal cage is transformed from trigonal prismatic to trigonal antiprismatic after CO/PPh3 exchange.

Both complexes are paramagnetic and the solid-state structures of 1 and 2 were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Analogous Fe and Co complexes of the tBu PNP (2,6-bis(di-tert-butyl-phosphinomethyl)pyridine) ligand (3 and 4, respectively) were prepared to allow comparison between the closely related pincer ligands in the hydrosilylation of carbonyl moieties. All four complexes were found to be catalytically active when treated with NaBEt 3 H, which was assumed to generate a metal-hydride species in-situ.

Heating 2 in dmf at 100°C results in the higher nuclearity cluster [Au 3 Fe 2 (CO) 8 (IMes) 2 ]-(5). 2-5 have been fully characterized via IR, 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopies and their structures determined by means of single crystal X-ray crystallography. Gas-phase DFT calculations were carried out on 2-5 and the model compound cis-Fe(CO) 4 (AuIDM) 2 (6) (IDM = C 3 N 2 H 2 Me 2), in order to better understand the metal-metal and metal-ligand interactions in these compounds without the influence of packing forces.
