The reaction of [PPN](2)[Re6C(CO)(19)] with Mo(CO)(6) and Ru-3(CO)(12) under sunlamp irradiation provided the new mixed-metal clusters [PPN](2)[Re6C(CO)(18)Mo(CO)(4)] and [PPN](2)[Re6C(CO)(18)Ru(CO)(3)], which were isolated in yields of 85% and 61%, respectively. The compound [PPN](2)[Re6C(CO)(18)Mo(CO)(4)] crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c with a = 20.190 (7) Angstrom; b = 16.489 (7) Angstrom, c = 27.778 (7) Angstrom, beta = 101.48 (2)degrees, and Z = 4 (at T = -75 degrees C). The cluster anion is composed of a Re6C octahedral core with a face capped by a Mo(CO)4 fragment. There are three terminal carbonyl ligands coordinated to each rhenium atom. The four carbonyl ligands on the molybdenum center are essentially terminal, with one pair of carbonyl ligands (C72-O72 and C74-O74) subtending a relatively large angle at molybdenum (C72-Mo-C74 = 147.2(9)degrees), whereas the remaining pair of carbonyl ligands (C71-O71 and C73-O73) subtend a much smaller angle (C71-Mo-C73 = 100.5(9)degrees). The C-13 NMR spectrum of (CO)-C-13-enriched [PPN](2)[Re6C(CO)(18)Mo(CO)(4)] shows signals for four sets of carbonyl ligands at -40 degrees C, consistent with the solid state structure, but the carbonyl ligands undergo complete scrambling at ambient temperature. The C-13 NMR spectrum of (CO)-C-13-enriched [PPN](2)[Re6C(CO)(18)Ru(CO)(3)] at 20 degrees C is consistent with the expected structure of an octahedral Re6C(CO)(18) core capped by a Ru(CO)(3) fragment. The visible spectrum of [PPN](2)[Re6C(CO)(18)Mo(CO)(4)] shows a broad, strong band at 670 nm (epsilon = 8100), whereas all of the absorptions of [PPN](2)[Re6C(CO)(18)Ru(CO)(3)] are at higher energy. An irreversible oxidation wave with E(p) at 0.34 V is observed for [PPN](2)[Re6C(CO)(18)Mo(CO)(4)], whereas two quasi-reversible oxidation waves with E(1/2) values of 0.21 and 0.61 V (vs Ag/AgCl) are observed for [PPN](2)[Re6C(CO)(18)Ru(CO)(3)]. The molybdenum cap in [Re6C(CO)(18)Mo(CO4)](2-) is cleaved by heating in donor solvents, and by treatment with H-2, to give largely [H2Re6C(CO)(18)](2-). In contrast, [Re6C(CO)(18)Ru(CO)(3)](2-) shows no tendency to react under similar conditions.
