Ruthenium methoxide dimer (Cp*Ru({mu}-OMe)){sub 2} (1, Cp* = {eta}{sup 5}-C{sub 5}Me{sub 5}) is produced by reaction of (Cp*RuCl{sub 2}){sub 2} or Cp*RuCl{sub 2}(pyr) with NaOMe in methanol or by reaction of CP* (PCy{sub 3})RuCl with LiOMe in methanol. Compound 1 is best prepared in pure form (in 84% yield) by reaction of the tetranuclear cluster (Cp*RuCl){sub 4} with 4 equiv of LiOMe in methanol. An X-ray crystallography study revealed that 1 has a dimeric structure with bridging methoxy ligands. The dimer is folded along the O{hor ellipsis}O axis, with a fold angle of 124.3{degree}. Complex 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with a = 15.821 (8) {angstrom}, b = 6.659 (3) {angstrom}, c = 21.51 (1) {angstrom}, {beta} = 103.32 (3){degree}, Z = 8, V = 2,205 (2) {angstrom}{sup 3}, and R{sub F} = 2.17%. Ethoxide dimer (Cp*Ru({mu}-OEt)){sub 2} (2), prepared from (Cp*RuCl){sub 4} and LiOEt in ethanol, combines with carbon monoxide to form the adduct (Cp*(CO)Ru({mu}-OEt)){sub 2} (3). Compound 3 crystallizes in tetragonal space group P{anti 4}2{sub 1}C with a = 26.22 (2) {angstrom}, c = 8.709 (5) {angstrom}, Z = 8, V = 5,986 (6) {angstrom}{sup 3}, and R{sub F} = 5.68%. An analogous adduct of 1, (Cp*(CO)Ru({mu}-OMe)){sub 2} (4), is observed by {sup 1}H NMR but is unstable in solution, eventually decomposing to (Cp*Ru(CO)({mu}-CO)){sub 2}. Reaction of LiO-2,6-{sup t}bu{sub 2}c{sub 6}H{sub 3} with (Cp*RuCl){sub 4} in toluene gives the {eta}{sup 5}-oxocyclohexadienyl complex Cp*Ru({eta}{sup 5}-2,6-{sup t}Bu{sub 2}C{sub 6}H{sub 3}O) (5), which was crystallographically characterized. Compound 5 crystallizes in space group P2{sub 1}/n with a = 12.203 (3) {angstrom}, b = 10.028 (3) {angstrom}, c = 18.414 (4) {angstrom}, {beta} = 99.11 (2){degree}, Z = 4, V = 2,225 (1) {angstrom}{sup 3}, and R{sub F} = 3.03%.
