Synthesis and characterisation of the heptanuclear trimetallic cluster [{Fe2(CO)6}(µ4-Te)(µ3-Te){Ru3(CO)11}]
Abstract
The trimetallic cluster [{Fe2(CO)6}(µ4-Te)(µ3-Te){Ru3(CO)11}](1) has been prepared from the room temperature reaction of Fe2Te2(CO)6(2) and Ru3(CO)12(3) in benzene, and shown by X-ray analysis to consist of an ‘Fe2(CO)6’ fragment connected to a ‘Ru3(CO)11’ fragment by triply and quadruply bridging tellurium atoms.
