Abstract

The hexaruthenium cluster compound Ru6(μ3-H)(CO)15[C5H4(SiMe3)] (2), possessing two μ4-η2-CO ligands and with the Ru[C5H4(SiMe3)] fragment located at the apex of the central tetrahedral framework, was prepared in low yield by refluxing a toluene solution of C5H5(SiMe3) with excess Ru3(CO)12. This unique complex was characterized by spectroscopic methods and by X-ray structural analysis. The possible mechanism leading to its formation is discussed.
