Abstract

The crystal structures of the title compounds, [Ru(C(7)H(9)Si)(2)(C(26)H(24)P(2))(2)] and [Ru(C(4)H)(2)(C(26)H(24)P(2))(2)], are described. The metal centre in both complexes has an octahedral coordination geometry, with mutually trans buta-1,3-diynyl ligands forming pseudo-linear ruthenium-centred polyyne chains.
