[Dicarbonyl(η⁵-cyclopentadienyl)iron(II)]-μ₂-1,3-propanediyl-[dicarbonyl(η⁵-cyclopentadienyl)ruthenium(II)]

Abstract

The coordination of Fe and Ru in the title compound, [RuFe(C3H6)(C5H5)2(CO)4], is identical in its effectively tetrahedral form with that observed in closely analogous materials. However, partial [24.08 (17)%] disorder by interchange of Fe and Ru renders the bonds to Fe and Ru here apparently slightly longer and shorter, respectively, than they are in the analogues.
