Abstract

Three new complexes of the [Re₆(μ₃-Se) ₈]²⁺ core-containing clusters with the water-soluble trialkylphosphine ligand 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane (PTA), [Re ₆(μ₃-Se)₈(PEt₃) ₅(PTA)](SbF₆)₂ (P5PTA, 1), [Re ₆(μ₃-Se)₈(PEt₃) ₅(PTAH)][Re₆(μ₃-Se)₈(PEt ₃)₅(PTA)](SbF₆)₅ (2), and [Re ₆(μ₃-Se)₈(PEt₃) ₅(PTAH)]₂(HBr)(SbF₆)₂Br₄ (3) have been prepared and structurally characterized. Unexpected protonation of the cluster-bound PTA ligand was observed when coordination of 1 with HgI ₂ was attempted, affording compound 2 featuring a protonated PTA ligand, PTAH. Deliberate acidification of 1 with HBr produced compound 3, and the protonation was investigated by using ³¹P NMR spectroscopy. Crystallographic studies revealed distinct structural distortions of the ligand as a result of protonation.
