The reaction of [Ru2(μ-CO)(CO)5(μ-H)(μ-PtBu 2)(tBu2PH)] (2) with dppm yields the dinuclear species [Ru2(μ-CO)(CO)4(μ-H)(μ-PtBu 2)(μ-dppm)] (3) (dppm = Ph2PCH2PPh2). Under thermal or photolytic conditions 3 loses very easily one carbonyl ligand and affords the corresponding electronically and coordinatively unsaturated complex [Ru2(CO)4(μ-H)(μ-PtBu 2)(μ-dppm)] (4). 4 is also obtainable by an one-pot synthesis from [Ru3(CO)12], an excess of tBu2PH and stoichiometric amounts of dppm via the formation of [Ru2(CO)4(μ-H)(μ-PtBu2)( tBu2PH)2] (1). 4 exhibits a Ru-Ru double bond which could be confirmed by addition of methylene to the dimetallacyclopropane [Ru2(CO)4(μ-CH2)(μ-H)(μ-P tBu2)(μ-dppm)] (5). The molecular structures of 3, 4 and 5 were determined by X-ray crystal structure analyses.
