The triangulo-triruthenium compound, [Ru3(C21H21AsS3)(CO)11], confirms that during the synthesis one equatorial carbonyl ligand is substituted by a monodentate arsine ligand, leaving one equatorial and two axial carbonyl substituents on an Ru atom. The other two Ru atoms each carry two equatorial and two axial carbonyl ligands. The three arsine-substituted benzene rings make dihedral angles of 77.94 (13), 86.37 (13) and 73.22 (12)° with each other. Two of the methylsulfanyl groups are disordered over two positions with refined site occupancies of 0.720 (7):0.280 (7) and 0.644 (8):0.356 (8). In the molecules are linked into infinite chains along the a axis by weak intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

The reactions were conducted under an atmosphere of high purity nitrogen using standard Schlenk techniques and tetrahydrofuran (THF) dried over sodium metal. Tris(4-(methylsulfanyl)phenyl)arsine was prepared by the reaction of AsCl3 with 4-SCH3C6H4MgBr in THF. Equimolar quantity of Ru3(CO)12 and tris(4-(methylsulfanyl)phenyl)arsine were stirred in THF (25 ml) under nitrogen. About 0.2 ml of diphenylketyl
initiator was introduced into the reaction mixture under a current of nitrogen. The reaction mixture turned intense red. After 10 minutes of stirring the solvent was removed under vacuum. The reaction mixture was separated by TLC (acetone:hexane, 10:90). Three bands appeared. The major band (red) Rf=0.78 was separated and characterized. Single crystals of title compound were crystallized from CH2Cl2—CH3OH.All hydrogen atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with C—H = 0.93 or 0.96 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5Ueq(C). The rotating group model was applied to the methyl groups. Two of the methylsulfanyl groups are disordered over two positions with site occupancies of 0.720 (7)/0.280 (7) and 0.644 (8)/0.356 (8).
Triangulo-triruthenium clusters are known for their interesting structural variations and related
A large number of substituted derivatives, Ru3(CO)12-nLn (L= group 15 ligand) have been reported (Bruce et al., 1988a, b; Bruce et al., 1985). As part of our study on the substitution of transition metal-carbonyl clusters with mixed-ligand complexes (Shawkataly et al., 1998, 2004, 2009, 2010), herein we report the synthesis and structure of title compound.In the title molecule (Fig. 1), a monodentate arsine ligand has replaced a single carbonyl ligand of the Ru3 triangle. The monodentate arsine ligand is bonded equatorially to atom Ru1 of the triangulo-triruthenium. Atoms Ru2 and Ru3 each carry two equatorial and two axial terminal carbonyl ligands. The three arsine-substituted benzene rings make dihedral angles (C1–C6/C7–C12, C1–C6/C13–C18 and C7–C12/C13–C18) of 77.94 (13), 86.37 (13) and 73.22 (12)° with each other respectively.
In the
the molecules are linked into dimers by intermolecular C8—H8A···O10i hydrogen bonds (Fig. 2, Table 1). These dimers are further linked into infinite one-dimensional chains along the a axis by weak intermolecular C20—H20A···O6ii hydrogen bonds (Fig. 2, Table 1).For general background to triangulo-triruthenium derivatives, see: Bruce et al. (1985, 1988a,b). For related structures, see: Shawkataly et al. (1998, 2004, 2009, 2010). For the stability of the temperature controller used in the data collection, see: Cosier & Glazer (1986).

Experimental. The crystal was placed in the cold stream of an Oxford Cryosystems Cobra open-flow nitrogen cryostat (Cosier & Glazer, 1986) operating at 100.0 (1) K. |
Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Triangulo-triruthenium clusters are known for their interesting structural variations and related catalytic activity. A large number of substituted derivatives, Ru3(CO)12-nLn (L= group 15 ligand) have been reported (Bruce et al., 1988a, b; Bruce et al., 1985). As part of our study on the substitution of transition metal-carbonyl clusters with mixed-ligand complexes (Shawkataly et al., 1998, 2004, 2009, 2010), herein we report the synthesis and structure of title compound.
In the title molecule (Fig. 1), a monodentate arsine ligand has replaced a single carbonyl ligand of the Ru3 triangle. The monodentate arsine ligand is bonded equatorially to atom Ru1 of the triangulo-triruthenium. Atoms Ru2 and Ru3 each carry two equatorial and two axial terminal carbonyl ligands. The three arsine-substituted benzene rings make dihedral angles (C1–C6/C7–C12, C1–C6/C13–C18 and C7–C12/C13–C18) of 77.94 (13), 86.37 (13) and 73.22 (12)° with each other respectively.
In the crystal structure, the molecules are linked into dimers by intermolecular C8—H8A···O10i hydrogen bonds (Fig. 2, Table 1). These dimers are further linked into infinite one-dimensional chains along the a axis by weak intermolecular C20—H20A···O6ii hydrogen bonds (Fig. 2, Table 1).
