%X A reaction between Ru3(CO)12 and 1,5,9-trimethylcyclododeca-1,5,9-triene has given the orange-red complex Ru3(&#956;3-2&#951;1,2&#951;3-C14H17Me)(&#956;-CO)(CO)7, fully characterized by a single- crystal X-ray study. The hydrocarbon is attached to an irregular closed Ru3 cluster by two Ru -C &#963;-bonds and two &#951;3-allylic systems, the latter involving exocyclic CH2 and CH groups. The preparation of Ru3(&#956;-H)(&#956;3-C12H15)(&#956;- dppm )(CO)7 is also reported.
