Abstract

Treatment of [Ru₅C(CO)₁₅] with one equivalent of [Hg(CF₃)(CF₃CO₂)], in CH₂Cl₂, at room temperature affords the new cluster [RU₅C(CO)₁₅(HgCF₃)(CF₃CO₂)] (1) in quantitative yield. A single crystal X-ray structural study of 1 shows that it contains a bridged-butterfly Ru₅ metal core with the HgCF₃ fragment bridging at the hinge position and the trifluoroacetate coordinated to the bridging ruthenium atom through one oxygen atom.
