Abstract The oxidative addition reaction of 2,6-bis(bromomethyl)pyridine to Ru3(CO)12 gave scarcely soluble {Ru2Br2(μ-Q)(CO)4} n , 1, [Q=C5H3N-2-C(O)CH2-6-CH2] or a mixture of 1 and the mononuclear complex RuBr(Q′)(CO)3, 2, [Q′=C5H3N-2-C(O)CH2-6-CH2Br] according to the reactant's mole ratio. Further reactions of 1 with some N- and P-donor ligands (L) afforded readily soluble dinuclear complexes, Ru2(μ-Br)(μ-Q)Br(CO) n (L) m [n=4, m=1, L=PPh3 3a, or py 3b; n=3, m=2, L=PPh3 5a, or PPh2(o-tolyl) 5b]. In this paper, the characterization of these products by the elemental analyses and the spectroscopic methods are described. The X-ray crystal structures of Ru2(μ-Br) (μ-Q)Br(CO)4(PPh3)(MeOH), 4, which was obtained by crystallization of 3a from MeOH, and of 5a · (2CHCl 3 ) are also described. Each of the metal atoms in 4 has a distorted octahedral coordination, while in 5a · (2CHCl 3 ) one metal atom takes a distorted octahedral geometry and the other pseudooctahedral, which is completed by presenting a Ru ··· Br secondary bonding interaction.
