Synthesis and characterisation of precursors to organometal cluster networks

Alexander J. Blake,  Brian F. G. Johnson,  David Reed  and  Douglas S. Shephard 

Abstract

Thermolysis of triruthenium dodecacarbonyl in the presence of the appropriate dicyclic ligand C6H5(CH2)nPh in octane afford organometallic clusters with the general formula [Ru6C(CO)14{η6-C6H5(CH2)nPh}]. The molecular structures of the three octahedral cluster compounds (n= 0 1, 1 2 or 2 3) have been established by single-crystal X-ray analysis. In all three the ligand occupies an apical position formally replacing three carbonyl units on a single metal site of [Ru6C(CO)17]. Studies of the 1H NMR spectra of compounds 1–3 have revealed a trend in electronic inductive effects. Thermolysis of [Ru6C(CO)17] in the presence of an excess of transstilbene afforded 3 and trans-[Ru6C(CO)14-{η6-C6H5(CH)2Ph}]4 in good yield.
