Abstract

Treatment of Cp*W(CO)3(C≡CCH2OMe) with Os3(CO)10(NCMe)2 in refluxing toluene afforded two cluster compounds (2a,b) with identical molecular formula Cp*WOs3(CO)11(C≡CCH2OMe). Both compounds contain a butterfly skeletal arrangement and a multisite bound μ4-ŋ2-acetylide ligand. Complex 2a can be converted to 2b by relocating the Cp*W(CO)2 fragment from the hinge site to a wingtip position. The acetylide migration in 2b and the kinetic studies of the conversion between 2a and 2b are presented.
