Abstract

Treatment of the novel ring anion [C2But2P2Sb]- 4 with [Ru(η5-C5R5)(MeCN)3]PF 6, (R = H, Me), affords the compounds [Ru(η5-C5R5)(η5-C 2But2P2Sb)] (R = H 6, Me 7), which represent the first examples of complexes derived from a diphosphastibolyl ring; the X-ray crystal structure of 7 is described.
