New dimeric complexes of osmium [{(μ-CO)Os3(CO)9}2(μ3-η2-diyne)], ruthenium [{(μ-H)Ru3(CO)9}2(μ3-η2,η2-diyne)] or [{(μ-CO)Ru3(CO)9}2(μ3-η2-diyne)] and cobalt [{Co2(CO)6}2(η2-diyne)] (diyne=HC≡CArC≡CH, Ar=2,7-fluorene, 2,7-fluoren-9-one, bithiazole or bithiophene) have been prepared in good yields from the reaction of [Os3(CO)10(NCMe)2], [Ru3(CO)12] or [Ru3(CO)10(NCMe)2] and [Co2(CO)8] with half an equivalent of the appropriate diethynylarene ligand, respectively. All these cluster compounds have been characterized by IR and 1H NMR spectroscopies and mass spectrometry. The molecular structures of three of them have been determined by X-ray crystallography. For the group 8 osmium and ruthenium analogues, the hexanuclear carbonyl clusters consist of two trinuclear metal cores with the exhibition of the μ3-(η2-||) bonding mode for the acetylene groups when [M3(CO)10(NCMe)2] (M=Ru, Os) was used and the μ3-η2,η2 bonding mode when [Ru3(CO)12] served as the starting cluster. The tetracobalt species possesses two Co2C2 cores adopting the pseudo-tetrahedral geometry having the alkyne bond lying perpendicular to the Co-Co vector in each core. Density functional theory was also used to study the electronic structures of selected molecules.
