Synthesis and characterisation of [Ru3(CO)9(µ3-η2:η2:η2-C6H6)]
Abstract
The cluster benzene complex [Ru3(CO)9(µ3-η2:η2:η2-C6H6)] which contains a benzene ligand in a face-capping co-ordination mode has been prepared, and its molecular structure investigated by a single crystal X-ray analysis which provides unambiguous evidence for C–C length alternation.
