Cultural advice

The Australian National University acknowledges, celebrates and pays our respects to the Ngunnawal and Ngambri people of the Canberra region and to all First Nations Australians on whose traditional lands we meet and work, and whose cultures are among the oldest continuing cultures in human history.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are advised that ANU Library collections may include images, names, voices, and other representations of deceased persons.

Material in the collection may contain terms, language or views that reflect the period in which the item was created and may be considered inappropriate today.

Abstract

We report the first examples of the carbide ligand in (Cy3P)2Cl2Ru≡C (RuC) developing into a μ3 ligand toward metal centers. Conventionally, sterics exclude this coordination mode, but Fe2(CO)9 and Co2(CO)8 expel bridging CO ligands upon reaction with RuC to form trimetallic (Cy3P)2Cl2Ru═CFe2(CO)8 (RuCFe2) and (Cy3P)2Cl2Ru═CCo2(CO)7 (RuCCo2) complexes. Thus, the proximity offered by metal–metal associations in bimetallic carbonyl complexes allows the formation of trinuclear carbide complexes as verified by NMR, Mössbauer, and X-ray spectroscopic techniques.
