Description

A reaction between Ru3(CO)12 and 1,5,9-trimethylcyclododeca-1,5,9-trine has given the orange-red complex Ru3(μ3-2η1, 2η3-C14H17Me)(μ-CO)(CO)7, fully characterized by a single-crystal X-ray study. The hydrocarbon is attached to an irregular closed Ru3 cluster by two Ru-C σ-bonds and two η-allylic systems, the latter involving exocyclic CH2 and CH groups. The preparation of Ru3 (μ-H) (μ3-C12H15) (μ-dppm) (CO)7 is also reported. 10 refs., 2 tabs., 1 fig., ills
