Syntheses of new ruthenium clusters containing sulfur, ynyl and diynyl ligands. Crystal structures of [Ru3(CO)9(μ-η2-SC[triple bond, length as m-dash]CSiMe3)(μ32-C[triple bond, length as m-dash]CSiMe3)], [Ru4(CO)124-S)(μ-η2-C[triple bond, length as m-dash]CSiMe3)2] and [Ru4(CO)9(μ-CO)24-S)(μ42-C(SiMe3)C(C[triple bond, length as m-dash]CSiMe3)]

Abstract

Reaction of Ru3(CO)12 and S(C[triple bond, length as m-dash]CSiMe3)2 in toluene gave [Ru3(CO)9(μ-η2-SC[triple bond, length as m-dash]CSiMe3)(μ32-C[triple bond, length as m-dash]CSiMe3)] 1. The thermolysis of 1 provokes the rupture of the S–Csp bond of the SC[triple bond, length as m-dash]CSiMe3 ligand and C–C coupling reactions between two acetylide groups affording the clusters [Ru3(CO)93-S)(μ32-C(SiMe3)C(C[triple bond, length as m-dash]CSiMe3)] 2, [Ru2(CO)6(μ-η3-SC[triple bond, length as m-dash]CSiMe3)(μ-η2-C[triple bond, length as m-dash]CSiMe3)] 3, [Ru4(CO)124-S)(μ-η2-C[triple bond, length as m-dash]CSiMe3)2] 4 and [Ru4(CO)9(μ-CO)24-S)(μ42-C(SiMe3)C(C[triple bond, length as m-dash]CSiMe3)] 5. All compounds have been characterized by IR and NMR techniques as well as FAB+ mass spectrometry. Crystal structures of 1, 4, and 5 have been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The pathways of the thermolysis of 1 to give 2–5 have been investigated.
