Zn(II) and Cu(II) Complexes with the Cluster-based Ligand [Re6(μ 3-Se)8(PEt3)5(PTA)](SbF6)2 (PTA = 1,3,5-Triaza-7-phosphaadamantane)

Abstract

Zn(II) and Cu(II) complexes of the cluster-based ligand [Re6(μ3-Se)8(PEt3)5(PTA)](SbF6)2 (PTA = 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane), {Zn[Re6(μ3-Se)8(PEt3)5(PTA)](NO3)3}(SbF6) (1) and {Cu[Re6(μ3-Se)8(PEt3)5(PTA)](NO3)3}(SbF6) (2), were prepared and structurally characterized. They are the first N-coordinated Zn(II) and Cu(II) complexes wherein the PTA ligand displays an interesting and less-frequently observed P, N-coordination mode.
