Inventing new wheels: Reaction of [M3(CO)12] (M=Ru, Os) with 4-RC6H4SH afforded [{M(S-4-RC6H4)2(CO)2}8] (R=H; I) or [{M(S-4-RC6H4)2(CO)2}6] (R=Me, iPr; II; see scheme), all of which have been structurally characterized. The octamers I are unique metal molecular wheels featuring skew-edge-shared octahedra with a central planar M8 octagon. [{Ru(S-4-iPrC6H4)2(CO)2}6] selectively binds a Cu+ or Ag+ ion to form [M′{Ru(S(4-iPr-C6H4))2(CO)2}6]+ (III).
