Abstract

The first organometallic compound containing a reactive multiple bond between the ruthenium atoms has been synthesized by nitrosylation of a carbonylmetal precursor. Treatment of [(η5-C5H5)Ru(CO)2]2 (1) with nitrogen monoxide in n-decane at 170°C gives the black, air-stable nitrosyl derivative [(η5 -C5H5)Ru(μ-NO)]2 (2) in 75-80% yield. The composition of this molecule as well as the subsequent addition of a bridging methylene group with formation of (μ-CH2)[η5C5H5)Ru(NO)]2 (3a) shows that a metal-metal double bond is present in compound 2; this molecule is thus isostructural with the known iron analogue [(η5-C5H5)Fe(μ-NO)]2.
