Coupling of 1,3-Diynes on Metal Centres: Molecular Structure of Ru2{µ:µ-PhCC(C≡CPh)C[C2Ph{Co2(µ-dppm)(CO)4}]CPh}(CO)6

Abstract

The reaction between Ru₃(µ₃-PhC₂C≡CPh)(µ-CO)(CO)₉ and Co₂(µ-dppm)(CO)₆ afforded the title complex, in which a Co₂(µ-dppm)(CO)₄ unit is attached to one of the C≡C triple bonds of a µ-2η¹:η⁴-PhCC(C≡CPh)C(C≡CPh)CPh ligand bonded to an Ru₂(CO)₆ fragment.
