Photochemistry of (/eta//sup 3/-C/sub 3/H/sub 5/)Ru(CO)/sub 3/Br: Spectroscopic evidence for the intermediates (/eta//sup 3/-C/sub 3/H/sub 5/)Ru(CO)/sub 2/Br and ((/eta//sup 3/-C/sub 3/H/sub 5/)Ru(CO)/sub 2/(/mu/-Br))/sub 2/
The authors present here the results of an investigation of the photochemistry of (/eta//sup 3/-C/sub 3/H/sub 5/)Ru(CO)/sub 3/Br. Irradiation of an equilibrium mixture of endo-(/eta//sup 3/-C/sub 3/H/sub 5/)Ru(CO)/sub 3/Br and exo-(/eta//sup 3/-C/sub 3/H/sub 5/)Ru(CO)/sub 3/Br at room temperature in solution results in enrichment of the mixture in exo-(/eta//sup 3/-C/sub 3/H/sub 5/)Ru(CO)/sub 3/Br. Irradiation of (/eta//sup 3/-C/sub 3/H/sub 5/)Ru(CO)/sub 3/Br in a low-temperature matrix demonstrates that the primary photoprocess is loss of CO. Photolysis of (/eta//sup 3/-C/sub 3/H/sub 5/)Ru(CO)/sub 3/Br in the absence of reactive molecules yields a species which they have characterized by IR, /sup 1/H NMR, and mass spectrometry and assigned to be ((/eta//sup 3/-C/sub 3/H/sub 5/)Ru(CO)/sub 2/(/mu/-Br))/sub 2/. ((/eta//sup 3/-C/sub 3/H/sub 5/)Ru(CO)/sub 2/(/mu/-Br))/sub 2/ reacts with CO yielding exo-(/eta//sup 3/-C/sub 3/H/sub 5/)Ru(CO)/sub 3/Br which thermally reverts to endo-(/eta//sup 3/-C/sub 3/H/sub 5/)Ru(CO)/sub 3/Br.
