A diruthenium complex containing an ortho-metallated bipyridyl ligand formed directly from [Ru 3(CO) 12] and pyridine

The cluster [RU 3(CO) 12] reacts with pyridine (6 mol/mol RU 3) at 120°C to give [RU 2(μ-pyr) 2(CO) 6] (pyr = 2-pyridyl, C 5H 4N) as head-to-head and head-to-tail isomers and with neat pyridine at 180°C to give [RU 2 (μ-pyr)(μ-C 10H 7N 2)(CO) 5], shown by X-ray diffraction to contain a bridging orth...

Summary:The cluster [RU 3(CO) 12] reacts with pyridine (6 mol/mol RU 3) at 120°C to give [RU 2(μ-pyr) 2(CO) 6] (pyr = 2-pyridyl, C 5H 4N) as head-to-head and head-to-tail isomers and with neat pyridine at 180°C to give [RU 2 (μ-pyr)(μ-C 10H 7N 2)(CO) 5], shown by X-ray diffraction to contain a bridging orthometallated bipy ligand formed by coupling of two 2-pyridyl ligands.
