“…However, the structure of 50 is similar to those found for related clusters with acyclic diaminocarbene 45 or Fischer carbene 46 ligands. Indeed, the conversion of [Ru 3 (m 3 -S) 2 (CO) 9 ], the ''parent'' cluster of 48, to [Ru 4 (m 4 -S) 2 (m-CO) 3 (CO) 8 ], the ''parent'' cluster of 50, upon reaction with triruthenium [Ru 3 (CO) 12 ] has been achieved, 47 thereby providing a plausible reaction pathway for the formation of 50.
