| Abstract: | Triangulated Dodecahedral Heterotrimetallic‐ and ‐tetrametallic Iron–Ruthenium Clusters with CpR and Pn Ligands (n = 5, 4) The cothermolysis of Cp*Fe(η5‐P5)] ( 1 ) and {Cp″(OC)2Ru}2](Ru–Ru) ( 2 ), Cp″ = C5H3But2‐1,3, affords low yields of Cp″Ru(η5‐P5)] ( 3 ) and {Cp″Ru}2P4] ( 4 ) as well as the triangulated dodecahedral hetero‐ and homotrimetallic clusters {Cp″Ru}2{Cp*Fe}P5] ( 5 ), {Cp″Ru}3P5] ( 6 ), {Cp*Fe}2{Cp″Ru}P5] ( 7 ) and the tetranuclear compound {Cp″Ru}3{Cp*Fe}P4] ( 8 ). X‐ray crystallographic studies show that the P5 ligand in the distorted M2M′P5‐triangulated dodecahedra of 5 and 7 offers an unusual novel coordination mode derived from the educt 1 . |
