Studies on metal carboxylates. 12. Reactions of molybdenum(II), rhodium(II), and rhenium(III) acetates with gaseous hydrogen chloride and hydrogen bromide

Molybdenum(II) acetate (Mo2(O2CCH3)4) reacts with gaseous hydrogen chloride and hydrogen bromide at 300°C to afford the phases β-MoX2, where X = Cl or Br. Reaction of these halides with pyridine and monodentate tertiary phosphines to produce metal-metal bonded dimers of the type Mo2X4L4 suggests that they are best formulated as [Mo2X4]n and are accordingly the parent halides of haloanions Mo2X84-. In contrast to this behavior, the rhenium(III) acetates, Re2-(O2CCH3)4X2, where X = Cl or Br, react with HCl and HBr to yield the trinuclear halides Re3X9. This is the first instance where a dinuclear rhenium halide containing a quadruple metal-metal bond has been converted to a trinuclear cluster. The related reaction of dinuclear rhodium(II) acetate with HCl and HBr differs from those involving Mo2(O2CCH3)4 and Re2(O2CCH3)4X2 in that disproportionation to RhX3 and rhodium metal occurs.
