    A low-temperature H-1-NMR study suggests the tetranuclear cluster dication [H6Ru4(C6H6)(4)](2+) (1) to contain an H-2 ligand that undergoes, upon warming of the solution, an intramolecular exchange with the four hydride ligands at the Ru-4 framework. Whereas two of the three NMR signals at - 120 degrees C in the hydride region show T-1 values in the range 200-300 ms, the least deshielded resonance at delta = - 17.33 ppm exhibits a T-1 value of only 34 ms, characteristic of an H-2 ligand. a re-examination of the single-crystal X-ray structure analysis of the chloride salt of 1 supports this interpretation by a short distance of 1.14(0.15) Angstrom between two hydrogen atoms coordinated as a PI-PI ligand in a side-on fashion to one of the triangular faces of the Ru-4 tetrahedron. The distance between one of the two hydrogen atoms of the H-2 ligand and one of the four hydride ligands is also very short [1.33(0.15) Angstrom], suggesting an additional H-2... H interaction. The presence of this H-3, unit over one of the three Ru-3 faces in 1 may explain the deformation of the Ru-4 skeleton from the expected tetrahedral symmetry. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations on 1 indicate a very soft potential energy surface associated with the respective displacement of the three interacting cofacial hydrogen atoms. In accordance with these results, the cluster dication 1 tends to loose molecular hydrogen to form the cluster dication [H4Ru4(C6H6)(4)](2+) (2). The equilibrium between 1 and 2 can be used for catalytic hydrogenation reactions. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.

    The reaction of Na[HRu3(CO)(11)] with an excess of tricyclohexylphosphine in methanol gives the neutral complex H2Ru3(CO)(6)(PCy3)(3) which is the first 44 e(-) triruthenium cluster reported. This highly electron-deficient species reacts with carbon monoxide to give the saturated 48 e(-) cluster Ru-3(CO)(9)(PCy3)(3). The electronic structure of the novel 44 e- cluster was established by EHT and DFT molecular orbital calculations of isoelectronic model compounds. The analogous reaction of [N(PPh3)(2)][HOs3(CO)(11)] with PCy3 in methanol affords the 46 e(-) cluster H2Os3(CO)(7)(PCy3)(3), the first trisubstituted derivative of H2Os3(CO)(10). In all cases methanol acts as source of protons for the formation of the hydride clusters. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
