Some ruthenium complexes containing cyanocarbon ligands: syntheses, structures and extent of electronic communication in binuclear systems

The preparation of several ruthenium complexes containing cyanocarbon anions is reported. Deprotonation (KOBut) of [Ru(NCCH2CN)(PPh3)2Cp]PF6 (1) gives Ru{N=C=CH(CN)}(PPh3)2Cp (2), which adds a second [Ru(PPh3)2Cp]+ unit to give [{Ru(PPh3)2Cp}2(μ-NCCHCN)]+ (3). Attempted deprotonation of the latter t...
