Abstract

The reaction of Ru₅(CO)₁₅(μ₅-C), 1, with Ph₃GeH at 150 °C has yielded two new germanium-rich pentaruthenium cluster complexes: Ru₅(CO)₁₁(μ-CO)(μ-GePh₂) ₃(μ₅-C), 2; Ru₅(CO)₁₁(μ-GePh₂)₄ (μ₅-C), 3. Both compounds contain square pyramidal Ru₅ clusters with GePh₂ groups bridging three and four of the edges of the Ru₅ square base, respectively. When treated with 1 equiv of Ph₃GeH at 150 °C compound 2 is converted to 3. Reaction of 3 with H2 at 150 °C yielded Ru₅(CO)₁₀(μ-GePh₂)₄ (μ₅-C)(μ-H)₂, 4, containing two hydride ligands and one less CO ligand. Reaction of 4 with hydrogen at 150 °C yielded the compound Ru₅(CO)₁₀(μ-GePh₂)₂ (μ₃-GePh₂)₂(μ₃-H) (μ₄-CH), 5, by loss of benzene and conversion of two of the bridging GePh₂ groups into triply bridging GePh groups. Compound 5 contains one triply bridging hydride ligand and a quadruply bridging methylidyne ligand formed by addition of one hydrogen atom to the carbido carbon atom.
