Abstract

The neutral mixed-metal cluster [Ru3(NO)(CO)10]2Hg has been prepared by the reaction of the [Ru3(NO)(CO)10], with HgCl2. An X-ray crystal structure shows that the mercury atom links two Ru3 triangular units by bridging an RuRu edge of each unit. The dihedral angle between the two Ru2Hg triangles is 27.6°. In each Ru3 triangle a nitrosyl ligand bridges the same RuRu edge as the bridging Hg atom while the ten carbonyl groups are all terminal.
