Abstract
Replacement of a CO ligand by MeCN in the capped clusters [M-3(mu-H)(2)(mu( 3)-X)(CO)(9)] (M = Ru, X = NSO2C6H4Me-4 or M = Os, X = S) allows reductive coupling of alkynes (RC=CH, R = H or Ph) to give regioselectively the 1,3-d iene clusters [M-3(C4H4R2)(mu(3)-X)(CO)(8)], with the diene mu-eta(2),eta(2 )-coordinated for ruthenium and eta(4) for osmium.
