Linear trinuclear three-centred metal–metal multiple bonds: synthesis and crystal structure of [M3(dpa)4Cl2][M = RuIIor RhII, dpa = bis(2-pyridyl)amidoanion]

Abstract
The synthesis and X-ray crystal structures of the linear trinuclear metal complexes, [MII 3(dpa)4Cl2](M = Ru or Rh), with a synsyn bis(2-pyridyl)amido (dpa) ligand, possessing a short M–M–M three-centred multiple bond [Ru–Ru 2.2537(5)Å; Rh–Rh 2.3920(5)Å] are described.
