Exploring the Frontiers of Heterometallic Systems: the {FeW<sub>5</sub>} Octahedral Cluster Complex
This research presents the first examples of heterometallic octahedral cluster complexes incorporating both 5d and 3d metals, specifically, tungsten and iron. The key compound, (TBA)<sub>2</sub>[FeW<sub>5</sub>Br<sub>14</sub>] (TBA = tetrabutylammonium), exhibits selective ligand substitution reactions at the iron site when exposed to various solvents. Several {FeW<sub>5</sub>}-type anions, namely, [FeW<sub>5</sub>Br<sub>14</sub>]<sup>2-</sup>, [FeW<sub>5</sub>Br<sub>13</sub>(L)]<sup>-</sup> (L = H<sub>2</sub>O, DMSO, CH<sub>3</sub>CN), and [(FeW<sub>5</sub>Br<sub>13</sub>)<sub>2</sub>O]<sup>4-</sup>, were revealed and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The redox properties of [FeW<sub>5</sub>Br<sub>14</sub>]<sup>2-</sup> were studied and compared with those of [W<sub>6</sub>Br<sub>14</sub>]<sup>2-</sup>. Density functional theory calculations demonstrated that the bonding between Fe and W atoms is fundamentally different from the bonding between 4d (Mo-Mo) or 5d (W-W) metals in isotypic {M<sub>6</sub>} clusters.
