In this paper we report the synthesis and activation of OS-6 raft-llke planar clusters. The activated OS-66 raft-like clusters [OS-66(CO)_(20)(MeCN)] and [OS-66(CO)_(19) (MeCN)_2] have been prepared by involving PdCl_...In this paper we report the synthesis and activation of OS-6 raft-llke planar clusters. The activated OS-66 raft-like clusters [OS-66(CO)_(20)(MeCN)] and [OS-66(CO)_(19) (MeCN)_2] have been prepared by involving PdCl_2 as catalyst. Trimethylamine oxide (Me_3NO) has been used as an activation reagent to oxidize several carbonyl ligands coordinated in the activated clusters and to get a series of activated OS-66 raft-like clusters [OS-66(CO)_(21-x)(MeCN)_x] (n = 1--5) and corresponding substituted clusters [OS-66(CO)_(21-x)(P(OMe)_3)_x] (n=1--5). The structures of these OS-66 raft-like clusters have been characterized by the infrared spectra (IR), nuclear magnetic resonance spectra (NMR) and mass spectra (MS), and the characters of the raft-like planar structure and reactivity above have also been discussed in this paper.展开更多
