Abstract

The species Ru₃(H)(μ₃-NPPh₃)(CO)₉ occurs in the solid state as two isomers, characterized either by one capping hydride and three CO bridges (1a) or by one bridging hydride and all terminals COs (1b); key intermediates for the formation, fluxionality and solvent-dependent interconversion of the isomers are highlighted through a DFT MO analysis.
