The reduction of coordinated carbon monoxide (CO) in transition-metal carbonyl complexes by metal hydrides [1–3] is of critical importance, not only for mechanistic aspects of the Fischer–Tropsch synthesis,[4] which involves the hydrogenation of CO in the presence of transition-metal catalysts, but also because of its potential applications in the development of homogeneous catalytic systems for the selective formation of hydrocarbons and oxygenates. To date, extensive studies have been carried out on the hydrogenation of coordinated CO by main-group-metal hydride reagents (eg, LiAlH4 and NaBH4) or transition-metal hydride complexes, for example [Cp* 2ZrHX](Cp*= C5Me5; X= H, halide).[2, 3] The formation of various products (or intermediates) such as formyl (MÀ CHO), oxycarbene (M= CHOM), enediolate (MOCH= CHOM), oxymethyl (MCH2OM), and methyl (MÀMe or MCH2-M) species has been observed, but only a limited number of these compounds has been structurally characterized. In contrast, the reduction of coordinated CO by rare-earth (Group 3 and lanthanide) metal hydrides has hardly been studied. The only precedent was the reaction of scandocene hydride complex [Cp* 2ScH (thf)] with [CpCo (CO) 2](Cp= C5H5), which yielded the scandoxycarbene species [CpCo (-CO) C (H) OScCp* 2].[3f]We recently found that rare-earth-metal polyhydride complexes bearing cyclopentadienyl ligands such as [{Cp’Y-(μ-H) 2} 4 (thf)](1; Cp’= η5-C5Me4SiMe3) can show unique reactivity toward various unsaturated substrates, including gaseous CO and CO2.[5–7] Herein, we report the reactions of the yttrium hydride cluster 1 with coordinated CO ligands in Group 6, 7, and 9 metal complexes, which afforded a new series of structurally well-defined heterometallic oxycarbene, oxymethyl, carbene oxo, and methyl oxo complexes. The reaction pattern depends on the nature of the transition-metal carbonyl complexes. Mechanistic aspects of these reactions are also described.
