Reactions of the dinuclear ruthenium complex [( p ‐cymene)Ru(μ‐Cl) 3 RuCl(C 2 H 4 )(PCy 3 )] with phenylacetylene or tert ‐butylacetylene gave the vinylidene complexes [( p ‐cymene)Ru(μ‐Cl) 3 RuCl(=C=CHR)(PCy 3 )] (R = t Bu, Ph), which were characterized crystallographically. With acetylene, however, a tetranuclear μ‐carbide complex was obtained as evidenced by single‐crystal X‐ray analysis as well as by solid‐state NMR spectroscopy. Experiments with fully 13 C‐labelled acetylene showed that acetylene was the carbon source for the carbide ligand. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2007)
