Preparation and X-ray crystal structures of trinuclear ruthernium(II) clusters containing capped sulfide ligands, [Ru3(C5Me5)3(µ3-S)(µ3-Cl)] and [Ru3(C5Me5)3(µ3-S)(µ3-SPri)]
Abstract
Triruthenium sulfide clusters [Ru3(C5Me5)3(µ3-S)(µ3-Cl)] and [Ru3(C5Me5)3(µ3-S)(µ3-SPri)] were obtained from the reaction of [Ru4(C5Me5)4(µ3-Cl)4] with Li2S alone or a Li2S–NaSPri mixture, respectively; their structures have been determined by X-ray crystallography.
