Treatment of 3 with Et30BF4 afforded both a single cluster ether complex, q5-MeCH(OEt) C5H4 (CO)2WFeCo(CO)6(p3-S)(4), and a double cluster ether complex, (q5-C5H4MeCHOCHMeC5H4-q5)[(CO)2WFeCo(C0)6(p3-S)]2 (5). Similarly, reactions of dianions -M(C0)3[q5C5H4C(0)CH2CH2C(O)C5H4-q51(CO)3Mwith two molecules of F~CO~(CO)&Q-S) gave 1,4succinoyl(biscyclopentadieny1)-bridgeddouble cluster complex [q5-C5H4C(0)CH2CH2C(O)C5H4q5][(C0)2MFeCo(CO)6(p3-S)]2 (621,M = Mo, 6b,M = W).These complexes could be further reduced by NaBH4 to give dihydroxyl derivatives [q5-C5H4CH(OH)CH2CH2CH(OH)C5H4q5][(CO)zMFeCo(CO)6Cu3-s)]2 (7a, M = Mo; 7b, M = W). Treatment of 7a and 7b with Et3OBF4 afforded two unexpected double clusters containing a biscyclopentadienyl-substituted tetrahydrofuran bridge ( a - q 5 - C 5 H 4 - C ~ H ~ O - C 5 H ~ - q 5 - a ' ) [ ( ~ ~ ) 2 (8a, M FM e ~=oMo, ~~~~~~~-~]~ 8b,M = W).

and linear trinuclear18 complexes have been wellstudied. In this article, we wish to report the synthesis, characterization, and some of the interesting reactions of this novel type of cluster complex, as well as the X-ray structure analyses for two such compounds. I5-l7

Results and Discussion Part 1. The Chemistry Starting from the Monoanions q5-RC5&(C0)&I-(I). Preparations of lae. Functionally substituted cyclopentadienyl tricarbonyl group 6 metal anions q5-RC5H4(C0)3M-(R = MeCO, MeOzC, etc.) (I) have proved to be important in the synthesis of organometallic and metal cluster complexes containing the structural unit q5-RC5H4 (CO)zM.14-18This is because the commonly used electrophilic substitution of the cyclopentadienyl ring of their parent compounds could not be applied to prepare this type of complex, due to their inherent lack of aromatic character andlor their decomposition under substitution conditions involved.14J5 Now we have found an additional use of the monoanions I in the synthesis of the tetrahedral MFeCoS (M = Mo, W) cluster complexes. For instance, complexes la-e can be prepared by their reaction with the cluster complex FeCoz(CO)g@s-S)in THF at reflux in 41-69% yield, as shown in Scheme 1. Actually, this is an isolobal displacement consequencelg of Co(C0)3(dgML3)in FeCo2(CO)g@&) by 115-RC5H4(C0)~M(d5ML5) generated in situ from the anions I. However, it is worth noting that our initial attempts to obtain cluster l e failed when an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction of the parent compound CpWFeCo (CO)8@3-S) with acetyl chloride in the presence of AlCl3 in CH2C12 at room temperature was tried. From the reaction mixture only 48% of the parent cluster was recovered, showing the inherent lack of aromaticity and the severe decomposition of the parent cluster under the Friedel-Crafts conditions.

ring in mononuclear transition metal complexes, such as ferrocene derivativesz0 and group 6 monometallic compounds,21have been extensively studied, the investigations of this kind of reaction involved in dinuclear compounds and especially in cluster systems are relatively few.15J6cIn principle, the cluster core in cluster complexes may influence the reactivity of the functional group on the cyclopentadienyl ring and also could be destroyed under the reaction conditions used. Rausch reported that (q5-carbomethoxycyclopentadienyl)tricarbonylmethyltungsten was saponified with potassium hydroxide in aqueous methanol at 25 "C to give, after acidification, the corresponding carboxylic acid in 82% yield.21a However, treatment of cluster ICin methanol with aqueous potassium hydroxide, followed by acidification, did not give the expected carboxylic acid. In fact, when potassium hydroxide was added to the solution of IC,a color change from brown-red to brownblack occurred immediately, presumably due to the decomposition of cluster ICunder the basic conditions of saponfication. In contrast to the different hydrolysis behavior of the carbomethoxy group as mentioned above, the acetyl group in cluster l e showed chemical behavior similar to that of some mononuclear compoundszlb,ctoward Grignard reagents and NaBH4. For instance, l e reacted with MeMgI in ether at room temperature, after hydrolysis of the addition intermediate, to give tertiary alcohol 2 in 39%yield as shown in Scheme 2. Also as shown in Scheme 2, l e could be reduced by NaBH4 in MeOH at room temperature to give secondary alcohol 3 in 55% yield. It is interesting that 3 could further react with triethyloxyonium tetrafluoroborate salt Et30BF4, as in the case of an organic in CHZClz at room temperature to give the expected alkylation product 4 in 29%yield. However, the reaction also gave an unexpected product, 5, formally viewed as derived by loss of one molecule of water from two molecules of 3, in 31% yield, as shown in Scheme 2. The mechanisms for ether formation from alcohols under acidic conditions are well-known in organic and organometallic chemistry. So, as in the case of organic alcohols,22the alkylation product 4 would be produced through a pathway which involves the attack of the Et+ cation generated from dissociation of the oxonium salt a t the oxygen atom of hydroxy group of the cluster 3 to form the intermediate ml, followed by loss of HBF4. H

However, the carbon atom attached to the Cp ring of the intermediate ml might be possibly further attacked (20)Bublitz, D. E.;Rinehart, K. L., J r . In Organic Reactions; Dauben, W.

by the nucleophilic oxygen atom of the hydroxyl group of 3 with loss of one molecule of EtOH to generate another intermediate, m2. Then, 5 would be finally afforded from m2 by loss of HBF4. Interestingly, to our knowledge, this reaction is the first example so far for producing a symmetrical double cluster ether such as 5 by the action of a trialkyloxonium salt upon the corresponding alcohol. However, the detailed mechanism for this reaction still needs further study. Characterization of la-e and 2-5. Compounds la-e are solid colored from brown-red to black, while 2-5 are red viscous oils. They were all fully characterized by elemental analysis and IR, lH NMR and MS spectroscopies. In their IR spectra all showed terminal carbonyl absorption bandsz3in the range of 2082-1901 cm-l, and bridging carbonylsz3 might exist for la,c,e and 3-5, evidenced by one absorption band present between 1860 and 1890 cm-l. The IR spectra of la-e also showed corresponding carbonyl absorption bands of ester at around 1720 cm-l and acetyl at 1685 cm-’, while the IR spectra of 2 and 3 showed the hydroxyl group at around 3427 cm-l. As we know, lH NMR spectra of a monosubstituted cyclopentadienyl ring in transition metal compounds vary greatly in complexity, such as a single resonance, an A2Bz or AzBB‘ pattern or a multiplet pattern, all depending on the nature of the substituent.21 For the lH NMR spectra of la-e, the four protons on the cyclopentadienyl ring exhibited an AzBB’ pattern. The AzBB’ pattern consisted of two closely spaced quartets of relative intensity 1H upfield from 5.40 ppm and a triplet (or a quartet for le) of relative intensity 2H downfield from 6.04ppm. The two upfield quartets had been assigned to the H3 and H4 protons remote from the electron-withdrawing substitu(23)Collman, J. P.;Hegedus, L. S.; Norton, J. R.; Finke, R. G. Principles and Applications of Organotransition Metal Chemistry; 2nd ed.; California University Science Books: Mill Valley, 1987.

ent, since they were deshielded to a less extent than H2and H5 close to the substituent. We believe that the AzBB’ pattern was caused by the chirality of the tetrahedral cluster core MFeCoS. It is the chiral core that makes H3and H4 protons diastereotopic. However, a t present, we do not fully understand why H3 and H4 are diastereotopic whereas H2and H5are not. Perhaps, this is due to H3 and H4 being closer than H2 and H5 to the chiral cluster core. In contrast to the lH NMR spectra of la-e, the ‘H NMR spectra of the cyclopentadienyl protons of 2-5 showed more complicated patterns. Obviously, this can be attributed (except for cluster 2) t o the influences from both the chiral cluster core and the chiral a-carbon atom attached to cyclopentadienyl ring. The mass spectra of la,b,d,e and 4 showed their parent ion peaks, the fragment ion peaks of successive loss of a given number of CO from parent ion, the respective cluster core peaks, and so on. Although no parent ion peaks appeared in the mass spectra of IC,2, and 3, the peaks of corresponding fragment ions similar to those mentioned above existed. Part 2. The Chemistry Generated from the Bridging Dianions ( ~ I ~ - C ~ H ~ C ( O ) C H Z C H Z C ( O ) ~ ~ H ~ ~ , I ~ ) ( C O ) ~(1M 1).~ ~Preparations of 6a,b. Reactions of 1,4-succinoylbis(cyclopentadienylsodium) with Mo(COh in THF or with W(CO)6 in diglyme at reflux for several hours gave dianions 11,which could react in situ with two molecules of FeCoz(CO)&3-S), through d5ML5/ dgML3 double isolobal displacement, to afford 6a and 6b in 31% and 43% yields, respectively, as shown in Scheme 3. This type of double isolobal displacment, t o our knowledge, is unprecedented. Reactions of 6a,b and Formation of 7a,b and 8a,b. The functionality in double cluster complexes 6a and 6b, just like those in the above single cluster complexes, could be transformed into other functional-

ities. Thus, 6a and 6b reacted with NaBH4 in CH30H at room temperature, giving dihydroxy derivatives 7a and 7b in 31%and 23%yields, as shown in Scheme 4. Interestingly, the 1,4-dihydroxylbutylenegroup in 7a and 7b,under the action of Et30BF4 in CH2C12 at reflux, was converted into an a,a'-disubstituted tetrahydrofuran ring affording 8a and 8b in 90% and 89% yields, as shown in Scheme 4. TLC showed no formation of 8a and 8b below 0 "C after 2 h, while 8a and 8b were produced at 18 "C after 2 h in 86% and 39% yields, respectively. 8a and 8b might also be produced by use of HBF4 or HC1 instead of Et30BF4, in spite of the lower yields. For example, in the case of using HBF4 the reaction at reflux for 2 h gave 8a in 58% yield whereas the reaction, when HC1 was used, at reflux for 9 h gave 8b only in 12% yield. The mechanism for producing complexes 8a and 8b under these conditions is similar to that for formation of 4 and 5 described above. The reaction may involve initial attack of electrophilic E(representing H+ or Et+ generated by dissociation from HC1, HBF4 and Et30BF4) a t the oxygen atom of one hydroxy group of 7a or 7b to form the intermediate m,which in turn loses one molecule of water or ethanol E

by the intramolecular attack of the oxygen atom of another hydroxyl group at the carbon atom attached to

EOH moiety to give the protonated species a.Finally the a loses one proton to give 8a or 8b. Although the dehydration from diols leading to a substituted tetrahydrofuran derivatives by the action of proton acid or the others is a known the process occurred by the action of Et30BF4 to form a,a'-bis(cyclopentadieny1)tetrahydrofuran bridged double cluster complexes 8a and 8b is unprecedented in literature. Characterization of 6a,b,7a,b,and 8a,b. Except for 8a, which is a brown viscous oil, 6a,b,7a,b, and 8b are brown solids and have been characterized by CiH analysis and IR and lH NMR spectroscopies. In their IR spectra, there exist four absorption bands, in which three bands in the range of 2077-1967 cm-l are assigned t o terminal carbonyls and one band around 1885 cm-' is assigned to a bridging carbonyl.23 Besides these absorptions for carbonyls attached to metals, there is a moderately strong absorption band around 1682 cm-I for the ketonic carbonyl of 6a,b,while there is a broad absorption band around 3400 cm-l for the hydroxyl group of 7a,b. The IH NMR spectra of cyclopentadienyl protons for double clusters 6a,b,7a,b,and 8a,b are also as complicated as those for clusters 1-5 mentioned above. This is reasonable because these double clusters all contain the chiral tetrahedral cluster core MFeCoS and 7a,b and 8a,b contain the chiral a-carbon atom attached to the cyclopentadienyl ring as well. For 6a,b the lH NMR spectra of each cyclopentadienyl protons show an A2BB pattern, of which the two upfield sets of quartets are assigned to H3 and H4 remote from succinoyl bridge and the downfield triplet or multiplet is assigned to H2and H5 close to the bridge, due to the electron-withdrawing effect of the succinoyl group. However, for 7a,b the 'H NMR spectra show two multiplets, while for 8a,b there is one multiplet. Based on the same reason, for 7a,bthe upfield multiplet should be assigned to H3 and H4, while the downfield multiplet is assigned to H2 and H5. The chemical shifts of the hydroxyl group for 7a,b were established by the D/H exchange method, which included adding DzO to the lH NMR tube and redetermination of the lH NMR of 7a,b, showing complete disappearance of the peak for the hydroxyl group.

The perspective views of 6a and 6b are presented in Figures 1 and 2, respectively. As seen from Figure 1, the molecule 6a consists of two identical tetrahedral subclusters, FeMoCoS, carrying eight carbonyls and one 1,4-succinoyl-bridgedbiscyclopentadienyl ligand. The two subclusters are connected through Mo atoms to two ~+cyclopentadienyl rings in a trans fashion. Among the eight carbonyls attached to the metals, two carbonyls attached t o the

X-ray quality crystals were grown for 6a and 6b by slow evaporation of their solutions in 2:l CHzClz/hexane. Both crystalline samples were in the form of brown plates. The crystal of 6a or 6b was mounted on a glass fiber in a n arbitrary orientation and

determined on an Enraf-Nonius CAD4 *adometer equipped with a graphite monochromator. Details of the crystals, data collections, and structure refinements are summarized in Table 6. The structures were solved by a direct phase determination method (MULTAN82). The final refinement was accomplishedby the full-matrix least-squares method with anisotropic thermal parameters for non-hydrogen atoms. All calculations were performed on a MICRO-VAX I1 computer using the TAXSAN program system.
