Notes:
A mixture of Na2MO4, M(CO)6, FeCl3·6H2O, and (EtCO)2O was heated at 120°C to produce the heterooctanuclear clusters Na2Fe2[M3O4-(O2CEt)8]2 (M = Mo, 1; W, 2). The bioxo-capped clusters Na[M3O2(O2CEt)9] (M3 = MoW2, W3) were treated with Fe-(CO)5, Cr(CO)6, and Mo(CO)6 in (EtCO)2O at 120°C to afford Na2M'2-[MoW2O4(O2CEt)8]2 (M' = Fe, 3; Cr, 4; Mo, 5) and Na2Mo2[W3O4(O2CEt)8]2 (6), respectively. The isomorphous clusters 1, 2, 5, and 6 were characterized by X-ray crystallography. The structures, similar to those of the analogues Na2Cr2[M3O4-(O2CEt)8] (M = Mo, 7; W, 8) and Na2V2[M3O4(O2CEt)8]2 (M = Mo, 9; W, 10), consist of two incomplete cubane-type [M3O4(O2Et)8]4- units centrosymmetrically bridged by two M'(III) metal ions through μ-oxo and propionate groups; the resulting cluster dianions are linked by Na+ ions into infinite chains. Clusters 1-10 do not dissolve in water and common organic solvents at room temperature. Unlike the chromium(III) clusters 7 and 8, the iron(III) and vanadium(III) clusters 1 and 9 are soluble in aqueous acid solution, as a result of their decomposition into isolated [Mo3O4]4+ cluster units. Temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibilities of 1, 2, and 7-10 were measured over the range 2-200 K and modeled by means of the spin-Hamiltonian H = - 2JS1S2 to give spin exchange coupling constants J/k of -0.60, -0.72, -1.76, -1.31, -4.80, and -1.46 K, respectively. These figures show that antiferromagnetic spin exchange coupling interactions between the magnetic, bridging M'(III) ions are very weak. These species show characteristic bands in the IR spectra at 740-820 cm-1, which can probably be assigned to ṽ(M-μ-O).
