The salt elimination reaction between NaCo(CO)4 and the ruthenium complexes LRu(diphos)Cl and [(Ind)Ru(CO)2Cl] afforded the Ru-Co bimetallic complexes [LRu(μ-CO)2(μ-diphos)Co(CO) 2] [L = C5Me5 (Cp*), diphos = Ph 2P(CH2)nPPh2, 3a: n = 1 , or 3b: n = 2; 3. L = C9H7 (Ind), diphos = Ph2PCH 2PPh2 ] and [(Ind)Ru(CO)2Co(CO)4] (3d), respectively, in high yields. However, the same reaction with the monophosphane analogue, [(Ind)Ru(PPh3)2Cl], gave the heterobimetallic complex [(Ind)Ru(PPh3)(CO)(μ-CO)Co(CO) 3] (3e) in fair yield, together with redox-initiated derivatives Ru(PPh3)2(CO)3 (4e) and [(Ind)Co(CO)(PPh 3)] (6e). A similar redox process in the reaction of the dppf analogue, [(Ind) Ru(dppf)Cl] (dppf = 1,1′-diphenylphosphanylferrocene) gave [Ru(dppf)(CO)3] (4f) and [(Ind)Co(CO)2] (6f), together with a complex salt [(Ind)Ru(dppf)(CO)][Co(CO4)] [5f·Co(CO)4].
