Popis: The cluster anion [Os3Ir(CO)13]− (1) was prepared in 50% yield by reaction of Os3(CO)12 with [Ir(CO)4]−. The single-crystal X-ray structure analysis of the bis(triphenylphosphoranylidene)ammonium salt shows 1 to consist of a tetrahedral metal core with one of the 13 carbonyl ligands being bridging. Protonation of 1 led to the neutral cluster HOs3Ir(CO)13 (2), whereas the hydrogenation gave the cluster anion [H2Os3Ir(CO)12]− (3). The catalytic activity of 1 for the carbonylation of methanol was studied. Using CH3I as co-catalyst, catalytic turnover numbers up to 1800 were obtained (140°C, 30 bar) within 14 h.
