The phosphane substitution chemistry was investigated for (μ3-2-butyne)FeCo2(CO)9 and for the clusters (μ3-X)RuCo2(CO)9 with X = alkyne, vinylidene, sulfur, and phosphinidene.In the case of the FeCo2 cluster Co-substitution was observed exclusively.For the RuCo2 clusters Co- as well as Ru-substituted products were isolated, of which in all cases the Co-substituted one is kinetically favoured and the Ru-substituted one thermodynamically favoured.The thermally induced Co-Ru migration of the phosphane ligands could be realized in several cases; the migratory aptitude decreases in the sequence PMe3, PMe2Ph, PMePh2, PPh3.Competition experiments with (μ3-2-butyne)FeCo2(CO)9, (μ3-2-butyne)RuCo2(CO)9 and PPh3 demonstrated a higher substitutional lability of the FeCo2 cluster and a phosphane transfer from the FeCo2 to the RuCo2 cluster.Some of the phosphane reactions led also to distribution (at the same or at different metal atoms).Crystal structure analyses of (μ3-HCCMe)RuCo2(CO)8(PPh3)(P-Co) (9d), (μ3-C=CHMe)RuCo2(CO)8(PMe2-Ph)(P-Ru) (19b), (μ3-S)RuCo2(CO)8(PPh3)(P-Co) (23d), and (μ3-S)RuCo2(CO)8(PMe2Ph)(P-Ru) (24b) confirmed the constitutional assignments deduced from the spectra.Altogether the metals considered here show a tendency for substitution in the order Fe Co Ru.

SRuCo2(CO)9 (2) results in good yield by heating of stoichiometric amounts of Co2(CO)8 and Ru3(CO)12 in the presence of ethyl mercaptan under synthesis gas pressure.In 2 up to three CO ligands can easily be replaced by PMe2Ph and up to two CO ligands by AsMe2MCp(CO)3 (M = Cr, Mo, W).The monosubstituted derivatives SRuCo2(CO)8L with L = PMe2Ph (3) L = AsMe2MCp(CO)3 (6-8) appear as two isomers, of which we assume substitution at ruthenium for the one formed first and subsequent transfer of the ligand to cobalt.The tetranuclear complexes SRuCo2(CO)8-AsMe2MCp(CO)3 (6-8) un dergo metal exchange upon heating under CO to yield the chiral clusters SRuCoMCp(CO)8 (12-14, M = Cr, Mo, W).Of these the Mo and W compounds are better accessible by reaction between 2 and 2.From SRuCoMoCp(CO)8 (13) and optically active phosphane ligands mixtures of diastereoisomeres SRuCoMoCp(CO)7L (18: L = (-)-PMePrPh; 19: L = PPh2O(-)-Menthyl) result.During the formation of 19 a slight enrichment of the (-)-diastereoisomer occurs.The diastereoisomers can be separated chromatographically, but not yet reconverted to the pure enantiomers 13.
