Notes. Reaction of triruthenium dodecacarbonyl with nitrobenzene and structure of µ₃-phenylnitrene-triruthenium decacarbonyl, [Ru₃(CO)₁₀(µ₃-NPh)]

Transition Metal—Main Group Cluster Compounds

“…conversion illustrated in Fe4C-butterfly clusters by Shriver et al (172,173) Of the type 18 clusters containing an alkyl and aryl substituted imido group, probably the most commonly studied are those with a P,3-NPh cap. Some synthetic routes (174)(175)(176) to RU3(CO)IONAr (Ar = Ph or substituted phenyl) are illustrated in Figure 37 and competitive reactions are also indicated; the reaction of a nitrosoarene with RU3( CO )12 provides the most efficient route to RU3(CO)IONPh. (174) The balance between the production of types 18 and 19 is a delicate one and is critically dependent upon solvent and temperature.…”

Reactivity of [Ru3(μ3-NPh)(μ3-CO)(CO)9] towards Activated Alkynes and Diynes − Isolation of a Trinuclear Intermediate During the Formation of Bi- and Tetranuclear Products

“…by treating [Ru 3 (CO) 12 ] with phenyl isocyanate, [18] nitrobenzene, [18,19] or nitrosobenzene, [20] or by treating the more reactive [Ru 3 -(MeCN)(CO) 11 ] with nitrosobenzene. [8] However, the first three methods afford compound 1 in only moderate to low yields and it is invariably accompanied by considerable amounts of the diimido derivative [Ru 3 (µ 3 -NPh) 2 (CO) 9 ].…”
