The homo- and heterobimetallic complexes [Cp*Ru(μ-Cl) 3-ML] [LM = (C6H6)Ru, (cymene)Ru, (1,3,5-C 6H3iPr3)Ru, Cp*Rh, Cp*Ir] were prepared by reaction of [Cp*Ru(μ-OMe)]2 with Me 3SiCl and subsequent addition of [LMCl2]2. The complexes [Cp*Ru(μ-Cl)3Ru(cymene)] and [Cp*Ru(μ-Cl) 3-IrCp*] were characterized by single-crystal X-ray analyses. In crossover experiments with [Cp*Rh(μ-Cl)3RuCl(PPh 3)2] and [Cp*Ru(μ-Cl)3Ru(1,3,5-C 6H3iPr3)] in CD2Cl2, a dynamic equilibrium with the complexes [Cp*Rh(μ-Cl)3RuCp*] and [(1,3,5-C6H3iPr3)Ru(μ-Cl) 3RuCl(PPh3)2] was rapidly established, demonstrating the kinetic lability of the triple chloro bridge. Upon reaction of [Cp*Rh(μ-Cl)3RuCp*] with benzene, the ionic complex [Cp*Ru(C6H6)][Cp*RhCl3] was formed, which was characterized by X-ray crystallography. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 2006.
