A study of acetylene and acetylide carbonyl and diphosphine substituted ruthenium trinuclear clusters: Synthesis and structural characterization

Electronic and steric effects of substituents in 1,3-diphenylprop-2-yn-1-one during its reaction with Ru3(CO)12

“…were collected by M. Hernandez-Sandoval in the reaction of activated cluster [Ru 3 (CO) 10 (NCMe 3 ) 2 ] with terminal alkynes. 17 Recently, P. Mathur demonstrated that one C^C bond of FcC 2 C 2 Ph (Fc ¼ ferrocenyl) was activated by Ru 3 (CO) 12 , and a series of novel mixed Ru/Pt clusters were isolated. 18 In general, the reaction of Ru 3 (CO) 12 with functionalized acetylenes can afford a variety of unexpected products, 19 that means alkyne ligands always experienced sophisticated transformations, these properties limited our understanding on activation of C^C bonds.…”

The Thermolysis of Ru3(CO)12 with Carboxylic Acids Revisited: Stepwise Assembly of Ru2 to Ru6 Cluster Frameworks

“…The transformation of the hydrogen on polymetallic centers of transition‐metal clusters have demonstrated a variety of bonding modes of hydrocarbon ligands and unusual stereo‐dynamic behavior of the organometallic compounds formed. [20] The bridging hydrogen of a Ru−H bond migrated to an acetylide group to form an acetylene group is less common than the cleavage of C−H in an acetylene group to form the Ru−H bond . Therefore, the transformation from 5 to 6 were proposed as the bridging hydride of 5 migirates as the terminal hydride in the acetylene group of 6 .…”
