A Phosphino Bridged Ruthenium Cluster: Nonacarbonyl‐μ‐Hydrido‐(μ‐Diphenylphosphino)Triruthenium(0)

Reaction of the heterometallic cluster Os3Ru(μ-H)2(CO)13 with diphenylphosphine: phosphido-bridged tetrahedral and butterfly clusters

“…After the filtration through silica gel to remove unreacted TMNO and trimethylamine, the IR spectrum showed peaks due to 2-5. In analogy with, for example, Ru 3 (CO) 11 (PPh 2 H) [20], it is probable that 6a afforded 2 via loss of a CO and insertion into the P-H bond. Cluster 2 itself is thermally stable in solution; its NMR spectrum remaining unchanged after more than two years.…”

Synthesis and Reactivity of Ruthenium–Antimony Carbonyl Clusters

“…As the osmium analogue 3-Os can be more readily obtained by the oxidative addition of SbPh 2 H to Os 3 (CO) 11 -(NCCH 3 ) [11a] and the phosphorus analogue Ru 3 (CO) 10 (μ-H)(μ-PPh 2 ) can be obtained from Ru 3 (CO) 11 (PPh 2 H) through the oxidative addition of the PPh 2 H ligand, [19] we also examined the reaction of Ru 3 (CO) 11 (NCCH 3 ) with SbPh 2 H. However, a complex mixture was obtained even when the reaction was performed at -20°C; cluster 3 was not detected.…”
