Treatment of ruthenium complexes [CpRu(AN)3][PF6] (1a) (AN = acetonitrile) with iron complexes CpFe(CO)2X (2a-2c) (X = Cl, Br, I) and CpFe(CO)L′X (6a-6g) (L′ = PMe3, PMe2Ph, PMePh2, PPh3, P(OPh)3; X = Cl, Br, I) in refluxing CH2Cl2 for 3 h results in a triple ligand transfer reaction from iron to ruthenium to give stable ruthenium complexes CpRu(CO)2X (3a-3c) (X = Cl, Br, I) and CpRu(CO)L′X (7a-7g) (L′ = PMe3, PMe2Ph, PMePh2, PPh3, P(OPh)3; X = Br, I), respectively. Similar reaction of [CpRu(L)(AN)2][PF6] (1b: L = CO, 1c: P(OMe)3) causes double ligand transfer to yield complexes 3a-3c and 7a-7h. Halide on iron, CO on iron or ruthenium, and two acetonitrile ligands on ruthenium are essential for the present ligand transfer reaction. The dinuclear ruthenium complex 11a [CpRu(CO)(μ-I)]2 was isolated from the reaction of 1a with 6a at 0°C. Complex 11a slowly decomposes in CH2Cl2 at room temperature to give 3a, and transforms into 7a by the reaction with PMe3.
