Abstract
The cationic cluster complex [Ru3(μ3-ampy)(CO)10][BF4] (1) (Hampy = 2-amino-6-methylpyridine) reacts with chloride, iodide, and acetate anions (as [PPN]+ or [Bu4N]+ salts) to give the 50-electron neutral compounds [Ru3(μ-X)(μ3-ampy)(CO)9] (X = Cl, I, MeCO2), whereas its reaction with [PPN][BH4] affords the known 48-electron neutral hydrido derivative [Ru3(μ-H)(μ3-ampy)(CO)9]. The hexanuclear compound [Ru6(μ-H)(μ4-S)(μ3-ampy)(CO)17], which consists of two closed trimetal units connected by two metal−metal bonds (X-ray structure), has been prepared by reaction of complex 1 with the anionic cluster compound [PPN]2[Ru3(μ3-S)(CO)9].
