Abstract

Abstract The X-ray structure of H4Ru4(CO)9(PMe2Ph)[P(OC6H4Me-p)3][P(OCH2)3CEt], a chiral cluster complex, has been determined. The complex is triclinic, space group P 1 , a 19.812(7), b 14.299(4), c 10.323(4) A, α 100.09(3), β 98.18(3), γ 102.23(3)°. The unit cell contains an enantiomeric pair of molecules. The Ru4 core contains two short (av. 2.785 A) and four long (2.967 A) RuRu separations with approximate D2d symmetry. RuP separations are 2.254(6) A [to P(OCH2)3CEt], 2.270(6) A [to P(OC6H4Me-p)3] and 2.326(7) A [to PMe2Ph]; all P-donor ligands are trans to short RuRu vectors.
