Abstract

The compound [Ru4(μ-Se)2(CO)8(μ3-CO)3] (1), has been obtained in good yield by vacuum pyrolysis of [RU3(CO)12] with [Ph2Se2] at 185°C. Reaction of 1 with 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane at room temperature affords the novel cluster [RU33-Se)2(CO)7(Ph2P(CH2)3PPh2)] (2). The structures of 1 and 2 have been determined by an X-ray diffraction study.
