Cluster chemistry. 62. Preparation of the heptanuclear clusters Ru5M2(μ5-C2PPh2)(μ-PPh2)(CO)12 (PPh3)2 (M = Ag, Au). X-ray structure of Au2Ru5(μ5-C2PPh2)(μ-PPh2) (PPh3)2{P(OEt)3}

The heptanuclear title complex was obtained from reactions between Ru5(μ5-C2PPh2)(μ-PPh2)(CO)13 and a mixture of [O{Au(PPh3)}3][BF4] and [ppn][M(CO)n] (M = Co, n = 4; M = Mn, n = 5) or by reduction (Na/Hg or K[HBBu38]) or the Ru5 complex and treatment with AuCl(PPh3); the silver analogue was made by the latter route. The structure of a P(OEt)3 derivative of the Au2Ru5 cluster was determined. The metal core consists of an Ru/AuRu2/Au trigonal bipyramid, two edges of which are bridged by Ru atoms. Addition of the Au2(PPh3)2 unit has resulted in cleavage of one of the Ru-Ru bonds present in the original Ru5 cluster. Au2Ru5(μ5-C2PPh2)(μ-PPh2)(CO)11 (PPh3)2{P(OEt)3} is triclinic, space group P1?, with a = 14.031 (15) A, b = 16.741 (4) A, c = 18.721 (6) A, α = 98.64 (2)°, β = 97.61 (6)°, γ = 98.04 (6)°, and Z = 4; 6848 data were refined to R = 0.0595 and Rw = 0.0617.
