Ruthenium Decorated Tris-Silylated Germanium Zintl Clusters Featuring an Unexpected Ligand Arrangement.

ABSTRACT: The incorporation of transition metal atoms into [Ge₉] clusters is a widely studied area of Zintl-cluster chemistry. Recently, it was shown that clusters comprising single transition metal atoms in the cluster surface show catalytic properties. Here, we present a synthetic approach to four new compounds comprising silylated Ge₉ clusters with organometallic ruthenium complexes. [η⁵-Ge₉Hyp₃]RuCp* (1), [η¹-Ge₉(Si^tBu₂H)₃]RuCp(PPh₃)₂ (2), and [Hyp₃Ge₉][RuCp(PPh₃)₂(MeCN)] (3b) (Cp = cyclopentadienyl, Cp* = pentamethylcyclopentadienyl, Hyp = Si(SiMe₃)₃, Ph = C_6</
