N2 - Treatment of carbido cluster Ru6(μ6-C)(CO)17 with 3 equiv. of Me3NO, followed by addition of high-valent acetylide complex (C5Me5)W(O)2(CCPh), affords a novel heterometallic cluster complex with formula (C5Me5)W(O)2(CCPh)Ru6(μ6-C)(CO)14 (1). The (C5Me5)W(O)2(CCPh) fragment in this molecule, which serves as a six-electron-donor ligand, uses one of the W–O multiple bonds and the acetylide C–C triple bond to fill three adjacent coordination sites on the Ru3 metal triangle of central Ru6(μ6-C) framework. Thermolysis of 1 in toluene leads to the formation of a toluene substituted complex (C5Me5)W(O)2(CCPh)Ru6(μ6-C)(CO)11(C7H8) (2) which exhibits the same metal core arrangement as its precursor 1. In addition, the X-ray structural analysis reveals the evidence for extensive hydrogen bonding between the terminal oxo ligand and the methanol solvate present in the unit cell.
