Abstract
The pentanuclear heterometallic acetylide complex Cp2Mo2Ru3(CO)10(CCPh)2 (3) was prepared by the reaction of the metal acetylide CpMo(CO)3CCPh with Ru3(CO)12. This complex was characterized by spectroscopic methods and by X-ray single-crystal structure determination. Notable structural features of the new complex 3 include an unusual symmetric pentametallic double butterfly skeleton and a novel μ4-η2 bonding mode for the acetylide ligand. Crystal data for 3: space group P21/c; a 24.119(10), b 20.739(4), c 15.358(3) Å, β 101.68(4)°, Z = 8; final R = 0.038, Rw = 0.034 and GOF = 1.57. © 1990.
