title: Controlled Synthesis of Early-Late Zr-Ir-Rh Heterotrimetallic Compounds by Metal Exchange Reactions.
abstract: Sulfido ligands meet the coordination and electronic requirements for stabilizing compounds containing divergent metal centers in close proximity, as shown by the controlled syntheses of early-late bimetallic (ZrIr(2) and ZrIr) and trimetallic complexes (ZrIrRh). The slow rotation of one 1,3-di-tert-butylcyclopentadienyl (Cp(tt)) ring in 1 (structure shown) allows the observation of two rotamers at room temperature. cod=1,5-cyclooctadiene. [Cp(tt)(2)Zr(µ(3)-S)(2){Ir(CO)(2)}{Rh(cod)}] 1
