Aj. Deeming et Dm. Speel, DEHYDROHALOGENATION OF IODOARENES TO GIVE RUTHENIUM CLUSTERS CONTAINING MU(4)-NAPHTHYNE AND MU(4)-PHENANTHRYNE LIGANDS, Organometallics, 16(3), 1997, pp. 289-291
Iodobenzene and 4-iodotoluene react with [Ru-3(CO)(12)] to give the ox
idative addition products [Ru-3(mu-I)(mu,eta(6)-C(6)H(4)R)(CO)(8)] (R
= H, 4-Me), whereas 1-iodonaphthalene and 9-iodophenanthrene give the
aryne clusters [Ru-4(mu(4),eta(2)-L)(CO)(12)] (L = 1,2-naphthyne, 9,10
-phenanthryne).
