Transition metal clusters, which contain multinuclear metal sites connected by metal–metal bonds in a variety of geometrical structures, have attracted increasing attention due to their versatile chemical and physical properties as well as their potential to integrate multiple functions in a single molecule.[1] In particular, clusters that show linear metal–metal bonding have been regarded as promising candidates in developing nanostructured materials including molecular electronic, optical, and chemical devices. However, synthetic methods using self-assembly of metal atoms often lead to polyhedral cluster cores, and thus routes to molecules with linear metal aggregations are limited.[2–7] We have studied homo-and heterometallic dinuclear and trinuclear complexes supported by the tridentate phosphane ligand bis (diphenylphosphanylmethyl) phenylphosphane (dpmp).[8] The linearly ordered trinuclear complexes[Pt2M (μdpmp) 2 (XylNC) 2](PF6) 2 (M= Pt (1a), Pd (1b); Xyl= 2, 6-dimethylphenyl) were prepared by site-selective incorporation of a zero-valent Pt or Pd atom into the diplatinum complex [Pt2 (μ-dpmp) 2 (XylNC) 2](PF6) 2.[8c] In the present study, we have examined a cluster core expansion of 1, and have successfully synthesized linear hexametallic clusters containing a redox-active Pt2M2Pt2 metal string (M= Pt, Pd). When the linear triplatinum complex 1a was treated with excess NaBH4 in ethanol, and the resultant brown precipitate was extracted and stirred in CH2Cl2, the dark blue, diamagnetic hexaplatinum cluster [Pt6 (μ-H)(μ-dpmp) 4-(XylNC) 2](PF6) 3 (2) was isolated in good yield (Scheme 1).Compound 2 was also obtained in low yield from the reaction of 1 with NaOMe. Although the Pt2Pd trinuclear complex 1b failed to be expanded with NaBH4, it readily reacted with NaOMe in CH2Cl2/MeOH to afford dark green crystals of [Pt4Pd2 (μ-H)(μ-dpmp) 4 (XylNC) 2](PF6) 3 (3, Scheme1). The changes in the ESI mass spectrum and the electronic absorption spectrum during the reaction to form 2 indicated that the initial brown compound, assigned as [Pt3 (H) 2 (μdpmp) 2 (XylNC)] 2+(A), was rapidly converted into [Pt3 (H)(μdpmp) 2 (XylNC)]+(B) in CH2Cl2. It is assumed that the monohydride intermediate B undergoes coupling and concomitant partial oxidation to generate complex 2. However, the intervening species were not identified.[9] The crystal structure of 2 was determined by X-ray analysis.[10] The cluster cation of 2 has a charge of+ 3 with a cluster valence electron count (CVE) of 86. It consists of six linearly ordered platinum atoms (Pt-Pt-Pt 174.87 (2)–179.67 (2) 8) bridged by four dpmp ligands and terminated by two isocyanide molecules (Figure 1). The Pt6 cluster core has a pseudo C2 symmetry, and the average Pt¿ Pt distances are 2.7041 ä for the outer Pt1¿ Pt2 and Pt5¿ Pt6 bonds (dout), 2.7329 ä for the inner Pt2¿ Pt3 and Pt4¿ Pt5 bonds (dinn), and 3.3092 (5) ä for the central Pt3¿ Pt4 bond (dcen). The values for dout and dinn are comparable to those of the triplatinum complex 1 [8] and indicate the presence of Pt¿ Pt σ bonds. Although the two central platinum atoms are not supported by any organic ligands and are sterically well protected by the four phenyl groups of the dpmp ligands, the remarkably long distance dcen indicates the presence of a bridging hydride; this was unambiguously confirmed by 1H NMR spectroscopy.
