Abstract
The reaction of the carbidocarbonyl cluster [Fe6C(CO)16]2− with ruthenium(IV) hydroxochloride Ru(OH)Cl3 was studied. At 90–100 °C, the reaction gave products of replacement of Fe atoms by Ru in the [Fe6C(CO)16]2− cluster along with degradation products. Treatment of the replacement products with FeCl3 afforded the [Fe2.96Ru3.04C(CO)17] compound (1), which was characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystals of cluster 1 are composed of two types of octahedral molecules (1a and 1b) in a ratio of 2 : 1. Molecules 1a are in general positions, and molecules 1b are located on twofold axes. In both molecules, the Fe and Ru atoms are disordered over four of six positions.
