Abstract
The reaction of (µ-H)3Ru3(μ3-CPh) (CO)9-n(NCMe)n (n= 1, 2) with cyclopentadiene produces the new cluster Ru3(μ3-CPh)(μ-CO)2(CO)6(η5-C5H5), in addition to Ru3(μ3-CPh)(μ-CO)3(η5-C5H5)3. Hydrogenation of Ru3(μ3-CPh)(μ-CO)2(CO)6(η5-C5H5) gives (μ-H)2Ru3(μ3-CPh)(μ-CO)(CO)6(η5-C5H5). The compound Ru3(μ3-CPh)(μ-CO)2(CO)6(η5-C5H5) crystallizes in the centrosymmetric monocfinic space group P21/n, with a = 9.039 (2) Å, b = 20.496 (5) Å, c = 11.896 (3)Å, β = 92.80 (2)°, V = 2201 (1) Å3, and Z = 4. Diffraction data (Mo Kα 2θ = 5-50°) were collected with a Siemens R3m/V diffractometer, and the structure was solved and refined to R = 5.09% for all 3901 data (R = 2.69% for those 2659 data hwith F > 6.0σ(F)). The structure contains a triangular arrangement of ruthenium atoms (Ru-Ru = 2.738 (1)-2.749 (1) Å) capped by a μ3-CPh ligand (Ru-C = 2.055 (5)-2.086 (5) Å). Atoms Ru(1) and Ru(2) are each bound to three terminal CO ligands, while Ru(3) is linked to an η5-C5H5 ligand. The structure is completed by two bridging CO ligands bonded more strongly to Ru(3) and somewhat less strongly to the remaining Ru atoms (Ru(3)-C(31) = 1.993 (6) Å, Ru(1)-C(31) = 2.167 (6) Å; Ru(3)-C(32) = 1.972 (6) Å, Ru(2)-C(32) = 2.225 (6) Å). The compound Ru3(μ3-CPh)(μ-CO)3(η5-C5H5)3 crystallizes in the centrosymmetric monoclinic space group P21/c, with a = 10.465 (2) Å, b = 11.192 (2) Å, c = 18.444 (3) Å β = 92.00 (2)°, V = 2158.8 (7) Å3, and Z = 4. Diffraction data (Mo Kα 2θ = 5-45°) were collected with a Siemens R3m/V diffractometer, and the structure was solved and refined to RF = 3.24% for all 2716 unique data (RF = 2.02% for those 2110 μμμdata with |F0|> 6 σ(|F0|)). The three ruthenium atoms in the structure form an almost perfect equilateral triangle (Ru-Ru = 2.690 (1)-2.705 (1) Å), which is capped by a μ3-CPh ligand (Ru-C = 2.019 (4)-2.023 (4) Å). Each edge of the triangle has a symmetrically bridging carbonyl attached. The structure is then completed by one η5-C5H6 ring bonded to each ruthenium.
