In this paper the results of the studies of complexation of three different polythiaether macrocycles, 1,5,9-trithiacyclododecane (12S3), 1,5,8,13-tetrathiacyclohexadecane (16S4) and 1,4,7-trithiacyclononane(9S3), to the hexaruthenium carbide cluster Ru{sub 6}(CO){sub 17}-({mu}{sub 6}-Cl) are described. These studies further demonstrate that the thiaether ligands are able to change their conformations in order to serve as more effective ligands. 18 refs., 4 figs., 13 tabs.
