Abstract
Herein we report on the synthesis of the first multiple phosphine-substituted nonagermanide clusters in a one-step reaction from K4Ge9. Their reactions towards various transition metal complexes show a large variety of reactive sites. The novel threefold phosphine-functionalized [Ge9] clusters [Ge9{PRRI}3]− {R: NiPr2; RI: NiPr2 (1 a) or tBu (2 a)} are obtained by reaction of pristine [Ge9]4− clusters with the respective chlorophosphines. Subsequent reactions with NHCDippCuCl yield neutral compounds (NHCDippCu)[Ge9{P(NiPr2)2}3] (3) and (NHCDippCu)[Ge9{P(NiPr2)tBu}3] (4), respectively. The reaction of neutral compound 3 with Cr(CO)5(thf) yields the first uncharged fivefold substituted [Ge9] cluster (NHCDippCu)2[Ge9{P(NiPr2)2}2Cr(CO)5] (5) via a ligand exchange reaction at the [Ge9] cluster core. Compounds 3 and 5 are characterized by single crystal structure determination.
