Abstract

The oxidative fluorination of [Ru3(CO)12] with XeF2 in anhydrous HF afforded, in solution, cis-[RuF2(CO)4] as the major product with [RuF(CO)5]+, [Ru2F4(CO)7], [{RuF(CO)4}2(µ-F)]+, mer- and fac-[RuF3(CO)3]-, [{RuF2(CO)3}n] and [{RuF2(CO)3}(µ-F){Ru(CO)5 }]+ as minor products, all of which have been characterised by 13C, 19F and 13C-{19F} NMR spectroscopies. Removal of the HF solvent in vacuo yielded tetrameric [{RuF2(CO)3}4].
