Abstract

The potential of photochemistry in cluster synthesis has been demonstrated by the high · yield preparation of (μ-H)(μ-X)Ru₃(CO)₁₀ {X = Cl (2a), Br (2b), I (2c)} from Ru₃(CO)₁₂ (1) and the molecular structure of (μ-H)(μCl)Ru₃(CO)₁₀ (2a) determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. As an extension to the work, the halide containing complexes have also been prepared thermally by reaction of the appropriate allyl halide with the novel di-hydrido cluster H₂Ru₃(CO)₁₀ (3).
