Undecacarbonyl(μ2‐trifluoromethyl isocyanide)triruthenium, a Derivative of [Ru3(CO)12] with [Fe3(CO)12] Structure

Abstract

Abstract[Ru3(CO)10(μ2‐CO)(μ2‐CNCF3)] (1), [Ru3(CO)10(CNCF3)2] (2), and [Ru2(CO)6(μ2‐CNCF3)3] (3) are obtained by the reaction of [Ru3(CO)11(CH3CN)] with CNCF3. An X‐ray crystal structure determination revealed, that 1 has an unusual [Fe3(CO)12] structure, different from most other derivatives of [Ru3(CO)12].
