Abstract
The X-ray structure analysis shows that the octahedral hexanuclear mix ed-metal cluster mu-carbido-mu-carbonyl-4:5 kappa(2)C-tridecacarbonyl- 1 kappa(3)C,2 kappa(3)C,3 kappa(3)C,4 kappa(2)C,5 ethylcyclopenyl]-oct ahedro-pentarutheniumrhodium(4 Rh-Ru)(8 Ru-Ru) [Ru5Rh(mu(6)-C)(CO)(13) (mu-CO)(eta(5)-C10H15)], encapsulating a C atom, has Ru-Ru bond length s in the range 2.813 (1)-2.959 (1) and Ru-Rh bond lengths of 2.825 (1) -2.895 (1) Angstrom. The pentamethylcyclopentadienyl ligand is bound i n a terminal fashion to the Rh atom. Of the fourteen carbonyl groups, one is bridging, two semi-bridging and 11 adopt essentially terminal p ositions.
