<div><p>Variable temperature NMR spectroscopic measurements on (S)-warfarin [open-form: 3-(1′-phenyl-3′-oxobut-1′-yl)-4-hydroxycoumarin] in CDCl<sub>3</sub>, CD<sub>3</sub>OD and d<sub>6</sub>-DMSO generally showed tautomeric compositions in the order <i>trans</i> (2S,4S) coumarin hemiketal > <i>cis</i> (2R,4S) coumarin hemiketal > open (S) coumarin enol in slow dynamic equilibrium over temperature ranges rising modestly from ambient. A computational (DFT-M06-2X) examination of the lower energy tautomers including coumarin and chromone open and cyclic forms (gas phase, chloroform or DMSO fields) was consistent with the general solution compositions. The crystal and molecular structures for model compounds of the major solution tautomers are reported: (2S,4S)-warfarin methyl ketal [orthorhombic, <i>P</i>2<sub>1</sub>2<sub>1</sub>2<sub>1</sub>], (2R,4S)-warfarin methyl ketal [orthorhombic, <i>P</i>2<sub>1</sub>2<sub>1</sub>2<sub>1</sub>], (<i>rac</i>)-warfarin-4-methyl ether [monoclinic, <i>P</i>2<sub>1</sub>/<i>n</i>], and the open chromone (S)-warfarin-2-methyl ether [monoclinic, <i>P</i>2<sub>1</sub>, Z = 8]. A combination of direct integration and line-fitting methods were used to determine solution (S)-warfarin tautomer compositions. As temperatures were increased, the concentrations of the open coumarin form increased at the expense of the cyclic hemiketals. Equilibrium constants were used to determine the standard free-energy differences for the two open-cyclic equilibria (<i>trans</i> hemiketal <span>(rightleftharpoons)</span> open, open <span>(rightleftharpoons)</span> <i>cis</i> hemiketal, respectively) in three solvents: CDCl<sub>3</sub> [+ 3.7(4), − 2.8(6) kJ/mol], CD<sub>3</sub>OD [+ 7.6(16), − 4.7(9) k/mol], d<sub>6</sub>-DMSO [+ 3.5(7), − 1.1(2) kJ/mol].

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.
