A convenient new synthesis of trans-Ru(CO)3(μ-L)2
[L = 2-(diphenylphosphino)pyridine, N-(diphenylphosphinomethyl)morpholine)] was developed. The reactions of these two tridentate organometallic ligands with selected group 11 and 12 metal salts resulted in the formation of hetero-binuclear Ru0 → Mn+
[M = Ag(I), n = 1; Hg(II), Cd(II), n = 2] complexes with Ru–Ag = 2.7132(7)
Å, Ru–Hg = 2.7075(4)
Å and Ru–Cd = 2.7750(9)
Å, as determined by X-ray crystallography.
