Undecacarbonyl-1κ3 C,2κ4 C,3κ4 C-[tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphite-1κP]- triangulotriruthenium(0)

Abstract

In the title triangulo-triruthenium compound, [Ru3(C 6H12Cl3O3P)(CO)11], one equatorial carbonyl ligand is substituted by a monodentate phosphite ligand, leaving one equatorial and two axial carbonyl ligands on one Ru atom. The remaining two Ru atoms each carry two equatorial and two axial terminal carbonyl ligands. In the crystal structure, the molecules are linked into a one-dimensional column along [100] by inter-molecular C - H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
