Abstract

Reduction of the Ru and Fe µ-methylene complexes [M2(C5H5)2(µ-CHR)(µ-CO)(CO)2](2: M = Ru, R = H; 3: M = Fe, R = CH2Ph) with hydrosilanes produces alkane (RMe) by way of dinuclear hydrido-methylene and methyl intermediates as confirmed by the reaction of [Ru2(C5H5)2(µ-CHR)(µ-CO)(CO)(NCMe)]9 with hydrosilanes; such a reaction sequence can be viewed as a model system for methanation via the Fischer–Tropsch mechanism.
