Abstract

The bimetallic cluster [Ru5H(CO)184- Bi)] has been prepared from the reaction of Bi(NO3) 5H2O and Na[Ru3H(CO)11] in methanol, and shown by X-ray analysis to be a spiro-cluster containing a 'Ru2(CO)8' fragment connected to a 'Ru3H(CO) 10' fragment by a μ4-bismuth atom with a pseudo-tetrahedral co-ordination geometry.
