Abstract

The reaction of carboxylic acids RCOOH (R = ^tBu, Ph, Fc) with [Ru₃(CO)₁₂] in refluxing acetonitrile afforded dark purple/red solids. These reacted with phosphines in a 2:1 (Ru:P) ratio to form phosphine-substitued derivatives of the electron-deficient tetraruthenium chains, viz., [Ru₄(CO)₈(μ-OOCR)₄(PR′₃)₂] (where R′ = Ph or OMe).
