Abstract
The synthesis, chemical characterisation and single crystal X-ray stru ctural study of the bis-toluene hexaruthenium carbidocarbonyl cluster (6)H(5)Me)(mu(3)-eta(2):eta(2):eta(2)-C(6)H(5)Me)] is reported. A vari able temperature H-1 n.m.r. study reveals that in solution the complex exists in two isomeric forms, one of them, that observed in the solid state and the solid state and the other the trans-[Ru6C(CO)(1)1(eta(6 )-C(6)H(5)Me)(2)] isomer. Interchange of the toluene ligand between th e mu(3)-eta(2):eta(2):eta(2) and eta(6) co-ordination mode if confirme d by deuterum labelling experiments involving C6D5CD3.
