Ruthenium(ii) alkynyl-hydride and ruthenium(ii) bis(σ-pyridylacetylide) as ligands and linkers for metal–metal-bonded complexes
Abstract
The syntheses of new linear π-conjugated building blocks, ruthenium(II) alkynyl-hydride and bis(σ-pyridylacetylide) complexes, and their application to the formation of heterobimetallic units and oligomers incorporating metal–metal-bonded complexes are reported. The structure of a tetrametallic subunit has been determined by
