Abstract: The reaction of Co2(CO)8 and [C13CC(O)OCH2]2 gave a novel double tetrahedral cluster compound([(CO)9Co33-C)C(O)OCH2]2 1)containing two tetrahedral skeletons(Co3C) linked by a C(O)OCH2CH2OC(O) bridge. The reaction of 1 with different molecular ratios of Na[M(CO)3C5H4R][M=Mo, W; R=H, C(O)Me] gave the one-step exchange products (CO)9Co33-C)C(O)OCH2CH2OC(O)(μ3-C)Co2M(CO)8(C5H4R)[M=Mo, R=H(2); M=Mo, R=C(O)Me (3); M=W, R=H (4); M=W, R=C(O)Me (5)] or the two-step exchange products or the two-step exchange products [(C5H4R)(CO)8Co2M(μ3-C)C(O)OCH2]2[M=Mo, R=H(6); M=Mo, R=C(O)Me (7); M=W, R=H (8); M=W, R=C(O)Me (9)]. By treating. By treating5 or 9 with Na[Mo(CO)3C5H5] in 1/2 molecular ratio, the compound (C5H5)(CO)8Co2Mo(μ3-C)·C(O)OCH2CH2OC(O)(μ3-C)CoMoW(CO)7(C5H4C(O)Me)(C5H5)(10) or [(C5H5)(C5H4·C(O)Me)(CO)7CoMoW(μ3-C)C(O)OCH2]2 (11) which has one or two chiral tetrahedral skeletons(CoMoWC)was obtained. Compounds 1_11 were characterized by C/Hanalyses, IRand 1HNMR. The results indicate that the Co(CO)31/n (#14) and lattice parameters, a=0.9330(2) nm, b=1.5197(4) nm, c=1.1783(4) nm, β=91.16(2)°, Z=2, F (000)=972.
