Abstract

The electronic structure of H2M3(CO)9S clusters (M = Ru, Os) is discussed on the basis of their He I and He II excited gas-phase photoelectron spectra and on the basis of CNDO quantum mechanical calculations. The PE data clearly demonstrate the cleavage of two direct MM interactions by operation of the bridging hydrides, giving rise to three-center two-electron MHM levels. The μ3-S bonding mode has been described in detail and compared with previous results on related μ3-CY cluster derivatives. The CNDO results on Ru3(CO)9S=, HRu3(CO)9S- and H2Ru3(CO)9S indicate that the μ3-S-cluster interaction is mostly independent of the presence of the bridging hydrides.
