The protonolysis of group 4 M(IV)(OR)4, M ) Ti, Zr, organic alkyl- or aryloxides with the cluster acid (CO)9Co3(í3-CCO2H) leads to a series of novel tricobalt cluster M(IV) alkoxy- or aryloxycarboxylates, most of which contain bridging oxo ligands. The compounds, which are isolated in good yield as crystalline substances and characterized spectroscopically as well as crystallographically, are Zr2(í-OCH(CH3)2)2(OCH(CH3)2)2{í-(CO)9Co3(í3-CCO2)}2{(CO)9Co3(í3-CCO2)}2, 1; Ti4(í3-O)4(OR)4{í-(CO)9Co3(í3-CCO2)}4, 2 (R ) CH(CH3)2, 2a; (CH2)3CH3, 2b; C6H5, 2c; 2,6-(CH3)2-C6H3, 2d); Ti6(í3-O)4(í-OCH2CH3)4(OCH2CH3)8{í-(CO)9Co3(í3-CCO2)}4, 3; and [Ti6(í3-O)2(í-O)2(í-OCH(CH3)2)2(OCH(CH3)2)2(1,2-O2C6H4)4{í-(CO)9Co3(í3-CCO2)}4], 4. Further, the mixed-metal derivatives [Ti2Co2{(OCH2)3CCH3}2(OCH(CH3)2)2{í-(CO)9Co3(í3-CCO2)}4], 5, and [{Co3Ti(OCH3)6(HOCH3)(THF){í-(CO)9Co3(í3-CCO2)}3}2(O2-CCO2)]â2HOCH3â2THF, 6, in which the Co(II) ions are derived from in situ tricobalt cluster degradation, are characterized in similar fashion. Some of the distinguishing features of an inorganic cluster as a ligand substituent are revealed by a comparison of the observed chemistry with that known for reactions of organic acids with M(IV)(OR)4.
