The tetraruthenium tetrahydrido carbonyl cluster Ru4(µ-H)4(CO)12 (1) reacts with diphenylvinylphosphine under thermal activation to give the substitution products Ru4(µ-H)4(CO)12−n(κ1-Ph2PCH=CH2)n, (2) (n = 3 (a); 4 (b)). Both 2a and 2b have been completely characterized, including by single-crystal...
