Abstract

Electrochemical or chemical oxidations of the clusters HRu333-XCCRCR′)(CO)9−n(PPh3)n (X = OMe, R = R′ = Me, n = 1–3; X = OMe, R = H, R′ = OEt, n = 2, 3; X = NEt2, R = H, R′ = Me, n = 1, 2) produce radical cations which are stabilized by π donation from the OR or NEt2 groups into the cluster framework orbitals. Treatment of the neutral clusters with E+ (E = H, Ag, Au(PPh3)) forms the adducts [ERu3H(μ33-XCCR-CR′)(CO)9−n(PPh3)n]+ with electrophilic addition either to a Ru–Ru edge or to the Ru3 face.
