The sulfimide complex Fe2(CO)6(μ-SNH) (1) reacts with Co2(CO)8 to form a 1:1 mixture of the known clusters FeCo2(CO)9(μ3-S) (2) and FeCo2(CO)9(μ3-NH) (3). The aza-tetrahedrane 3 may be used as a precursor for the synthesis of the new aza-trimetalla tetrahedranes Fe2Co(CO)9(μ-H)(μ3-NH) (5), CpMoFeCo(CO)8(μ3-NH) (6). CpNiFeCo(CO)6(μ3-NH) (7) and (CpNi)2Fe(CO)3(μ3-NH) (8) which were obtained from exchange reactions of 3 with Na2[Fe(CO)4], Na[CpMo(CO)3] and [CpNi(CO)]2. However, the reactions of 3 with Na2[Fe(CO)4] and Fe3(CO)12 gave Fe3(CO)9(μ-H)2(μ3-NH) (9) only as a minor product in addition to large amounts of Fe3(CO)9(μ-H)2(μ3-S) (10). The 1H NMR spectra of 3 and 5 -9 show a broadened triplet for the NH proton between δ(1H) 8.21 and 9.53. Chemical shifts δ(14N) were determined most efficiently by heteronuclear 1H{14N} double resonance experiments. The δ(14N) values for aza-trimetalla tetrahedranes (-180 to -202) indicate delocalized bonding between the μ3-bridging nitrogen atom and the metal triangle.
