Abstract
Reduction of the Ru and Fe mu-methylene complexes [M2(C5H5)2(mu-CHR)(m u-CO)(CO)2] (2: M = Ru, R = H; 3: M = Fe, R = CH2Ph) with hydrosilanes produces alkane (RMe) by way of dinuclear hydrido-methylene and methy l intermediates as confirmed by the reaction of [Ru2(C5H5)2(mu-CHR)(mu -CO)(CO)(NCMe)] 9 with hydrosilanes; such a reaction sequence can be v iewed as a model system for methanation via the Fischer-Tropsch mechan ism.
