[Ru-6(mu(3)-ampy)(2)(CO)(18)] (1; Hampy = 2-amino-6-methylpyridine), t
he first neutral hexanuclear carbonyl cluster complex consisting of tw
o closed trimetal units connected by only one metal-metal bond (X-ray
structure), has been prepared by (a) reaction of the cationic precurso
r [Ru-3(mu(3)-ampy)(CO)(10)](+) (2) with aqueous NaOH, (b) reaction of
complex 2 with the anion [Ru-3(mu(3)-ampy)(CO)(9)](-), and (c) zinc r
eduction of complex 2.
