Performing the reaction under N 2 atmosphere with a 1 : 1 molar ratio of the reagents results in the new species [NEt 4 ][H 1–x Ru 3–x Ir 2+x (CO) 12 (COD)] (x = 0.11) ( 3 ), whereas H 2 − x Ru 3 − x Ir 2 + x (CO) 10 (COD) 2 (x = 0.5 and 0.77) ( 4 ) is obtained by further increasing the amount of [Ir(COD)Cl] 2 . In particular, compound 4 with x = 0.5 has been obtained with a 1 : 1.25 molar ratio of the reagents, whereas 4 with x = 0.77 is formed increasing the stoichiometry to 1 : 1.5. Reaction of 1 and [Ir(COD)Cl] 2 under CO atmosphere affords [NEt 4 ] 2 [Ru 4 Ir 2 (CO) 17 ] ( 5 ) (molar ratio of the reagents 1 : 0.7). Syntheses of 2–5 are very sensitive to the experimental conditions, and optimized procedures in order to obtain each of these compounds in good yield and high purity have been identified. Slight variations of the experimental conditions lead to lower yield and traces of side-products are formed, among which [NEt 4 ][H 2 Ru 3 Ir(CO) 10 (COD)] ( 6 ), [NEt 4 ][HRu 3 IrCl(CO) 12 ] ( 7 ), [NEt 4 ] 3 [HRu 2 Ir 2 (CO) 12 ]Cl 2 ( 8 ) and [NEt 4 ] 2 [Ru 4 (O)Cl 4 (CO) 10 ] ( 9 ) have been identified by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD). All the main products 2 – 5 have been structurally characterized by SC-XRD and further investigated by IR and 1 H NMR spectroscopy in solution. Hydride locations have been elucidated by computational methods. Heterometallic cluster Carbonyl ligand Ruthenium Iridium Hydride Full Text Additional Declarations No competing interests reported.
