Abstract
Thermolysis of [Ru3(CO)10(μ-dppm)] (1) in refluxing benzene, followed by chromatographic separation by TLC, afforded the new cluster [HRu4(CO)9(μ3-PhPCH2PPh2)(μ3,η2:η1:η1-C6H4)] (10) in 7% yield in addition to the previously reported clusters [Ru3(CO)9{µ3-PhPCH2PPh(C6H4)}] (2) and [HRu4(CO)9(μ4-PhPCH2PPh2)(μ4,η6:η1:η1-C6H4)] (8) in 70% and 4% yields, respectively. The molecular structure of 10 has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Compound 10 possesses a Ru4 metal core where two of the six triangular faces are capped by μ3,η2:η1:η1-C6H4 (benzyne) and µ3-PhPCH2PPh2 ligands. Compound 10 transforms to the known cluster [HRu4(CO)9(μ3-PhPCH2PPh2)(μ4,η6:η1:η1-C6H4)] (8) slowly at 80 °C. The bonding in the new cluster 10 has been investigated by electronic structure calculations.
Graphical Abstract
A new tetraruthenium cluster has been isolated and structurally characterized from the thermolysis of [Ru3(CO)10(μ-dppm)] at 80 °C.
