Treatment of 4-PPh)2(μ2-CO)(CO)10> with NaBH4 leads to the formation of 4-PPh)2(μ2-H)(μ2-CO)2(CO)8>- which readily adds protons and carbon monoxide to produce 3-PPh)2(μ2-H)2(CO)12>; X-ray crystallographic studies have revealed that while the Ru4P2 framework adopts a closo octahedral geometry in 4-PPh)2(μ2-H)(μ2-CO)2(CO)8>-, it adopts a closo trigonal prismatic one in 3-PPh)2(μ2-H)2(CO)12>
