    Abstract

    The reactions of [L(CO)2WC6W(CO)2L] (L = HB(pz)3, HB(pz′)3; pz = pyrazol-1-yl, pz′ = dimethylpyrazol-1-yl) with [Ru(CO)2(PPh3)3] provide the bis-(tricarbido) complexes [(Ph3P)2(CO) 2Ru{C3W(CO)2L}2] via the adduct[(Ph3P)2(CO)2Ru{η2-L(CO) 2WC6W(CO)2L}], which, along with [(Ph 3P)2(CO)2Ru{C3W(CO) 2L}{HgC3W-(CO)2L}], is observed as an intermediate in the reactions of [Ru(CO)2(PPh3) 3] with [Hg{C3W(CO)2L}2] that also ultimately provide the bis(carbido) complex.
