Abstract

A high-yielding alternative synthesis of the heteronuclear cluster RuOs₃(μ-H)₂(CO)₁₃ has been developed. It is also demonstrated that the cluster exists as at least three isomers, which rapidly interconvert in solution. A triphenylphosphine derivative, RuOs₃(μ-H)₂(CO)₁₂(PPh₃), has also been prepared; this exists as two isomers, both of which have been characterised by single-crystal X-ray crystallographic studies.
