Abstract
Heating [Ru3(CO)11(PPh3)] in toluene yields complexes [Ru4(CO)11(µ4-η4-C6H4)] and [Ru5(CO)13(µ4-PPh)(µ5-η6-C6H4)], structurally identified by X-ray diffraction, in which benzyne is co-ordinated at tetra-and penta-ruthenium centres respectively; the latter provides a model for the dissociative chemisorption of benzene at a step site on a metal (111) surface.Keywords
