Abstract
An improved synthesis of the heterodimetallic complex [RuMn(μ-H)(μ-PPh2)(η5-C5H 5)(CO)5] 1 is described and the reactions of this complex with alkynes RC≡CR (R = Ph, H or CO2Me) and with tertiary phosphines have been studied. Complexes containing μ-alkenyl ligands are obtained from the reaction of 1 with alkynes and the crystal structure of one of these, [RuMn{μ-σ:η2-C(Ph)=CHPh}(μ-PPh 2)(η5-C5H5)(CO)4] has been determined by X-ray analysis; the alkenyl ligand is σ bonded to Ru and π bonded to Mn, while the PPh2 group asymmetrically bridges the Ru-Mn bond [2.729(2) Å]. Tertiary phosphines react with 1 to give complexes which are monosubstituted at the manganese atom.
