Abstract
The first investigation and analysis of 59Co 2D NMR homonuclear chemical shift correlation spec-
tra for a ru thenium-based tetrahedral mixed-metal cluster HRuCo3(CO)11(PPh3) are reported. For
this cluster in solution and by contrast to the conventional COSY NMR experiment, the double-
quantum filtered (DQF) COSY NMR spectrum proves the existence of a scalar coupling constant
between 59 Co nuclei. In order to obtain a value of this coupling, the 2D COSY spectrum for a three-
spin 7/2 AX2 system has been simulated by numerical density matrix calculations. The comparison
between experimental and theoretical 2D NMR COSY spectra gives a spin-coupling constant

1. Introduction
The conventional COSY NMR experiment [1] is an efficient and powerful technique to prove qualitatively the
existence of a coupling constant between quadrupolar nuclei. Ho wever, most of the investigations performed so
far co ncern nucle i with s mall quad rupole mo ments suc h as 11B [2]-[10], 51V [11], 2H [12], 6Li [13]-[16] and 7Li
[14]-[16], whose lines are relatively narrow (10 - 150 Hz) in the conventional 1D spectrum. The DQF-COSY
NMR experiment has only been scarcely used in the field of quadrupolar nuclei, and o nly when the lines were
broad in the 1D spectrum [17]-[19]. Recently, we have shown theoretically the superiority of the DQF-COSY
NMR experiment when trying to detect and determine relatively small J couplings in the case of fast relaxing
nucle i and broad peaks in the quadrupolar nucleus 1D NMR spectrum [20]-[24]. Idea l candidates for such NMR
spectroscopic investigations are available in the realm of metal cluster chemistry [25]-[27], as p revi ousl y sho wn
for HFeCo3(CO)L w ith L = PPh2H [17], PPh3, P(OMe)3, PCy3 [18] and
HFeCo3(CO)10(PC yH 2)(P P h2)[CH2C(O)Ph] [19].
Tetrahedral mixed-metal clus ter s co ntaini ng r uthe niu m ha ve b een sho wn to have d iffere nt c hemi cal sh ift s and
line wid ths in the 59Co 1D NMR spectrum than their iron-based counterparts [28]. The effect of a change in the
apical metal (Fe or Ru) on the 59Co chemical shifts has been studied in detail on a large number of these clusters
[28]. A study of the line widths has clearly shown that the apical atom plays an important role in the electron
distribution at the cob alt atom [28]. This is t he case for HR uCo3(CO)11(PPh3) (F igu re 1 ) in CDCl3 which is the
subject of this paper. Since we have demonstrated experimentally the feasibility of using the DQF-COSY ex-
periment to dete ct and d etermine rela tively small J Co-Co couplings in an iron-based tetrahedral mixed-metal cl us-
ter giving rise to broad lines in the 59Co 1D NMR spectrum (2.5 - 4.5 kHz) [19], it was of interest to test the
metho d o n a r utheniu m-based tetrahedral mixed-metal cluste r suc h a s H R uCo 3(CO)11(PPh3), because the lines in
the 59Co 1D NMR spectrum are even broader than those for the iron-based analog [28] [29]. Indeed, the line-
widths for the iron-based cluster in CD2Cl2 are 1500 Hz and 1600 Hz while the linewidths for the ruthe-
nium-ba sed cl uster in CD Cl3 are 5100 Hz and 2900 Hz, keeping in mind that CD2Cl2 and CDC l3 have compara-
ble viscosities. Furthermore, it was felt interesti ng to determi ne the JCo-Co scalar coupling constant and compare
its value with those found previously for iron-based tetrahedral mixed-metal clusters. The JCo-Co coupling re-
ported here is the first one for a rut henium-based tetrahedral mixed-metal cluster.

These simulation s show that if small scalar coupling is present between the two nuclei A and X and if the re-
laxation times T2A and T2X are short, it is not p ossible to detect the coupling with the co nventional COSY NMR
experiment because the information we are looking for is obscured in the theoretical spectrum by the overlap of
the inte ns e diagonal pe aks with the very small cr oss peaks. On the other hand, and as previously mentioned [24],
it is possible i n the same si tuation to de tect the J coupli ng bet ween nuclei A and X with a 2D DQF-COSY NMR
experiment, as observed in F ig ures 3(a)-(f).
4. Experimental
The cluster HRuCo3(CO)11(PPh3) (Figure 1), synthesized according to the published procedure [30], was dis-
solved in CD Cl3. 59Co NMR spectra were measured on a Bruker Avance II 600 spectrometer operating at 142.01
MHz. All spectra were run at room temperature. Chemical shifts are reported downfield from the exter nal refer-
ence Co(acac)3 saturated in CDCl3. Experiments were performed with a
π2
pulse lengt h of 20 μs. All experi-
ments were performed with an 1H(BB) 5 mm “inverse” probe-head using t he st andar d Bruke r so ftware. Typical
parameters were as follows:

(COSY)/16384 (DQF-COSY), exponential window function with a line broadening of 2000 Hz and power spec-
tra in both dimensions.
T1 relaxation times measurements have been performed on the cluster but due to the very long

pulse
length and also to the fact that the T1 relaxation times are around 100 μs, it was not po ssible to determine these
relaxation times accurately.
5. Results and Discussion
The 59Co NMR spectrum of the cluster HRuCo3(CO)11(PPh3) consists of two res ona nces ha vi ng i nt en s ities in the

ratio 1:2 (F i g u re 4 ). T here is no evidence in the 1D 59Co NMR spectrum for the existence of a J scalar coupling
const ants between the non-equivalent 59Co nuclei, as previously observed for iron-based tetrahedral mixed-metal
clusters [17] [18]. The cobalt nucleus bound to PPh3 (Co1) resonates at 14,888 ppm while the two equivalent
cobalt nuclei (Co2) are observed at 15,028 ppm. The T2 value s of Co1 and Co2 esti mated from the line widths
are equal to 110 and 60 μs, respectively, while it was not p ossible to measure the T1 relaxation times because of
the very lo n g
π2
pulse and at the same time the very short T1 relaxation times (around 100 µs). As p re viou sl y
explained for similar clusters [17] [18] , there should be a difference between T1 and T2 for the two cobalt nuclei
due to the scalar relaxation of the second kind where T1 is different from T2 [31]. This mechanism implies the

existence of coupling constants and the fact that T1 and T2 are comparable indicates that the J coupling in our
case, if it exists, is s mall but hopefully still d ete c ta ble by u sing DQF-CO S Y NMR exp eriments, as highlight ed in
the theoretical simulations part of this paper. It was therefore of interest to obtain 59Co 2D COSY-type NMR
spectra of our cluster.

the 2D CO SY NMR spec trum (Figure 5(a)), cross peaks between the two resonances are not visible by contrast

to what happen in the DQF-COSY NMR spectrum (Figure 5(b)). This illustrates very well the fact that it is
much easier in the case of quadrupolar nuclei relaxing very quickly to detect a relatively small J coupling in a
2D DQF-COSY NMR spectrum. In order to obtain a value for the 1J(59Co-59Co) coupling constant, the 2D 59Co
COSY spectrum was analyzed according to the equations given above. In this analysis, it has been assumed that
1) the 59Co r elaxatio n is descr i bed with the ass umptio ns o f extreme narr o wing and s ingle c or relatio n time, 2) the
decay of coherences for nuclei, A and X is described by a single transverse relation time

tively, and 3) the couplings between the 31P and 59Co nuclei (some values of 1JCo-P couplings in tetrahedral
mixe d-metal clusters of general formula HFeCo3(CO)11L have been reported previously in the literature: 1JCo-P =
450 Hz with L = PPh2H [32] [33], 1JCo-P = 446 Hz with L = PCy2H [33], 1JCo-P = 573 Hz with L = PPh3 [33] and
1JCo-P = 750 Hz with L = [P(OMe)3] [1 8] [34]) and between 99Ru and 59Co nuclei (there has been no value of a
1JCo-Ru coupling reported in the literature before, to the best of our knowledge) are neglected. Note that according
to our experience, taking into account the coupling between 31P a nd 59Co nuclei, as was previously done, does
not change the fina l result for the 1J(59Co -59 Co) coupling constants [17] [18].
Attempts to analyze this 2D DQF-COSY NMR spectrum (not shown) did not give satisfactory results. This
may be due to an irradiation problem because of the very long π/2 pulse length of 20 µs. In this case, it will de-
finitively be useful to use solid-state NMR transmitters and probes and work with very short pulses as previ-
ously done [17] [18].
Attempts to analyze the 2D COSY NMR spectrum (not shown) show that the cross peaks start to be visible
for 1J(59Co-59Co) = 300 Hz. Therefore, as cross peaks are not visible on the experimental spectrum, this value is

in our case.
It is of interest to compare the value of the 1J(59Co -59Co) coupling constant obtained in this work with those
previously determined. The only ones known were determined in iron-based tetrahedral mixed-metal clusters
and are surprisingly of the same order of magnitude compared to the 1J(59Co-59Co) coupling determined in this
work: 1J(59Co-59Co) = (115 ± 20) Hz for HFeCo3(CO)11(PPh2H) [17], 1J(59Co-59Co) = 140 Hz for
HFeCo3(CO)11(PPh3) [18], 1J(59Co-59Co) = (165 ± 15) Hz for HFeCo3( CO)11[P(OMe)3] [18], 1J(59Co-59Co) = 45
Hz for HFeCo3(CO)11(PCy3) [18] and 1J( 59Co-59Co) = (600 ± 150) Hz, 1J(59Co-59Co) = (450 ± 100) Hz,
1J(59Co-59Co) = (350 ± 100) Hz for HFeCo3(CO)10(P CyH2)(PPh2[CH2C(O)Ph]) [19]. This could be explained by
the similarities between the phosphorous ligands used. Note that large differences were also observed for
1J(59Co-31P) s calar coupling const ants in ir on-based tetrahedral mixed-metal clusters [18] [32]-[35].
6. Conclusion
It has been shown in this paper that it is possible to detect cross peaks in a 2D DQF-COSY NMR spectrum when
the relaxatio n times T1 are ver y sho rt a nd the l ine s in t he c onve nti ona l 1D NMR spec tru m are c onseq uent ly very
broad. This is not the case for the conventional COSY NMR experiment. This case study demonstrates the feasi-
bility of 2D DQF-COSY NMR experiments even in the case of very broad (2.9 - 5.1 kHz) lines in the conven-
tional 1D NMR spectrum. The present data complement the previously reported 59Co-59Co J coupling constant s
and therefore refer to a quadrupolar nucleus. It is believed that other metal-to-metal scalar coupling constants
involving quadrupolar nuclei may be obtained by simulation of COSY-type 2D NMR spectra. Particularly, this
work opens up the possibility of investigating other ruthenium-based tetrahedral mixed-metal cluster s with very
broad peaks in the conventional 1D 59Co NMR spectrum. It is also believed that the methodology described in
this paper will be applicable to study metal clusters of biological relevance.
