Abstract
The reactions of [Ru m C(CO) n ] (m = 5, n = 15; 3 m = 6, n = 17; 4) with PCy2(CH2)3Ph afforded mono- and bis-substituted derivatives [Ru5C(CO)14PCy2 (CH2)3Ph] 13, [Ru5C(CO)13{PCy2(CH2)3Ph}2] 14, [Ru6C(CO)16PCy2(CH2)3Ph] 15 and [Ru6C(CO)15{PCy2(CH2)3Ph}2] 16. Compounds 13–16 were characterised spectroscopically and the molecular and crystal structures of compound 13, 13a ([Ru5C(CO)14PPh2(CH2)3Ph]), 14 and 16 were determined by single crystal X-ray crystallography. Compound [Ru6C(CO)15{PCy2(CH2)3Ph}2] 16 was subjected to a thermal treatment in dibutylether, however no reaction was observed.
