The clusters H3Ru3(μ3-CX)(CO)9 (X = OMe, Me, Ph) react with alkynes C2R2 to form the corresponding alkene C2H2R2 and HRu3(μ3-η3-CXCRCR)(CO)9. Terminal alkynes yield mixtures of the two possible isomers in ratios dependent upon the steric bulk of the substituent. Hydrogenation of HRu3(μ3-η3-C(OMe)CRCR)(CO)9 yields the corresponding H3Ru3(μ3-CCHRCH2R)(CO) 9.
