Abstract

Reaction of [(cymene) 2Ru 3S 2(NCMe) 3] 2+ with sulfide sources efficiently affords the cluster of clusters [(cymene) 6Ru 9S 8](PF 6) 2. The synthesis is subject to coformation of [(cymene) 4Ru 5S 4](PF 6) 2, which arises via the reaction of [(cymene) 2Ru 3S 2(NCMe) 3](PF 6) 2 and [(cymene) 6Ru 9S 8(PF 6) 2. Crystallographic analysis demonstrates that [(cymene) 6Ru 9S 8](PF 6) 2 features three [(cymene) 2Ru 3S 2] 2+ units linked through a pair of μ 3-S ligands.
