Abstract

The presence of deprotonated 2-aminopyridines (apy ligands) as face-capping ancillary ligands in carbonyltriruthenium cluster complexes facilitates their reactivity (mild reaction conditions) and increases the regioselectivity of their reactions. This is probably due to the hemilabile character of the apy ligands that help maintain the cluster nuclearity and also provides reaction pathways of low activation energy. Thus, the presence of apy ligands in triruthenium cluster complexes of the type [Ru3(µ-H)(µ3-apy)(CO)9] has allowed an extensive and regioselective derivative chemistry that is surveyed in this review. A comparative study of the reactivity
