Abstract
Reactions of cubane type clusters [EtGaPSi(Me)2Thex]4 [Thex = CMe2(Pr-i)] and {EtInP[Si(i-Bu)3]}4 with pyridine were studied. The temperature dependences of vapor pressure over individual solid compounds were measured using a membrane pressure gauge. At a temperature above 200°C the examined clusters undergo irreversible thermal decomposition due to instability of organic substituents. According to the experimental data, the cubane clusters do not react with gaseous pyridine below their decomposition temperature. Thermodynamic parameters for the isomerization of model clusters [HMPH]4 (M = Ga, In) and their gas-phase reactions with pyridine were calculated by quantum-chemical methods. The addition of pyridine is thermodynamically allowed only at low temperatures.
