Abstract

The reaction of [RuCl₂(CO)₃]₂ with C₅H₅(SiMe₃) has been re-investigated. In our hands, in refluxing tetrahydrofuran, the reaction gives consistently [Ru(CO)₃(η-C₅H₅)] [fac-RuCl₃(CO)₃], 1, and [RuCl(CO)₂(η-C₅H₅)], 2, in 68% and 12% yield respectively. The reaction of CO with commercially available hydrated OsCl₃ gives [OsCl₂(CO)₃]₂ in 44% yield. The crystal structure of [Ru(CO)₃(η-C₅H₅)] [fac-RuCl₃(CO)₃] is reported; superlattice symmetry is observed.
