Abstract

The condensation of [(η-C5H5)Fe(CO)2]2 with HRu3(CO)9C5H7 leads to a novel heterometallic cluster, (η-C5H5)FeRu3(CO)9C5H7, whose structure is inferred to i.r., mass and 1H n.m.r. spectral data and discussed with that of isoelectronic complex (η-C5H5)NiRu3(CO)8C5H7. The formation of both compounds can be rationalized in terms of Wade's approach as a cluster expansion from a nido to a closo polyhedron. The reaction of the title compound with Ru3(CO)12 affords Ru4(CO)12C5H8 in very low yield, for which a closo-octahedral geometry is suggested on the basis of spectroscopical evidence.
