The reaction of PhCCPh with affords two complexes, one red-violet containing only terminal carbonyl groups and the other the orange-yellow title compound, di-μ-carbonyl-1:2κ2C;1:3κ2C-hexacarbonyl-1κ2C,2κ2C,3κ2C-μ3-4):3(η4)-1,3-butadiene-1,4-diyl-1κ2C>-triruthenium(2 Ru-Ru).The structure of the latter isomer consists of an open Ru3 cluster coordinated to the C4Ph4 ligand, formed by the dimerization of PhCCPh, and to eight CO groups, six terminal and two bridging.The central Ru atom is ?-bonded to the butadiene moiety to form an RuC4 metallacyclopentadiene ring .Each of the other two metal atoms is η4-bonded to the C atoms of the RuC4 ring to form a pentagonal bipyramidal Ru3C4 core.
