Abstract

The reactions of Ru3(CO)12 with catechol and with 3,5-di-tert-butyl-1,2-benzoquinone yield the three clusters Ru4(CO)8(μ-O2C6H2R2)2 (R = H, t-Bu) which differ in the arrangement of metal atoms but which all contain μ3-semiquinone ligands coordinated via terminal and bridging O atoms and a π-η6-C6 ring. The substitution products Ru4(O2C6H2(t-Bu)2)2(CO)7L (L = THF, NCMe, PPh3, C2Ph2) were prepared from one isomer.
