Synthesis and structural study of (PPN)2[Fe4Ru2(CO)22][PPN = bis(triphenylphosphine)iminium cation]. A cluster containing vertex-connected triangles
Abstract
Reaction of (PPN)2[Fe3(CO)11][PPN = bis(triphenylphosphine)iminium cation] with Fe2Ru(CO)12 gives the hexanuclear dianion [Fe4Ru2(CO)22]2–; X-ray structural analysis shows that this dianion exhibits an unusual arrangement of vertex-connected triangles.
