The crystal structure of C12H16Ru4(CO)10: an open Ru4 cluster containing a novel three-carbon bridging group

Abstract
The electron-deficient complex C12H16Ru4(CO)10 is shown to contain an open Ru4 cluster; the monocyclic C12 ring is attached to the cluster by a conventional π-allyl bond to one ruthenium atom, and by a novel bridging C3 unit, which is π-bonded to the two apical metal atoms, and σ-bonded to each of the “hinge” metal atoms.
