“…Contribution from the Department of Chemistry, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas 77843. Received February 23,1977 Abstract: A derivative of Ru3(CO)i2, in which two cis axial CO ligands are replaced by the bidentate ligand 1,2-diazene (pyridazine), has been prepared and characterized structurally and stereodynamically by x-ray crystallography and 13C NMR. The arrangement of the equatorial (in-plane) CO groups is changed from all terminal as in Ru3(CO)i2 and now consists of three terminal ones and three slightly unsymmetrical bridging ones.…”
