| Abstract: | Reactions of the open‐cage fullerene C63NO2(Py)(Ph)2 ( 1 ) with [Ru3(CO)12] produce [Ru3(CO)8(μ,η5‐C63NO2(Py)(Ph)2)] ( 2 ), [Ru2H(CO)3(μ,η7‐C63N(Py)(Ph)(C6H4))] ( 3 ), and [Ru(CO)(Py)2(η3‐C63NO2(Py)(Ph)2)] ( 4 ), in which the orifice sizes are modified from 12 to 8, 11, and 15‐membered ring, through ruthenium‐mediated C?O and C?C bond activation and formation. |
