Abstract
Dehalogenation of[1,2-Ph 2-3,3-(PPh 3) 2-3-Cl-closo/pseudocloso-3,1,2-RuC 2B 9H 9] − affords, in addition to the unusual “symbiotic”** cluster [(1,2-Ph 2-pseudocloso-3,1,2-RuC 2B 9H 9) (1′,8′-Ph 2-closo-2′,1′8′-RuC 2B 9H 9)], a trace amount of a triple cluster species [(1,2-Ph 2-pseudocloso-3,1,2-RuC 2B 9H 9)(1′,8′-Ph 2-closo-2′,1′,8′-RuC 2B 9H9)(1″,8″-Ph 2-closo-2″,1″,8″-RuC 2B 9H 9)], comprising three (Ph 2RuC 2B 9H 9) units linked by η 6- coordination of Ph rings to the Ru atoms of the adjacent cluster. The structure of the triple cluster was established by X-ray crystallography, and the potential consequences of its formation are discussed.
