ResumoThe synthesis and X-ray crystal structure of the triruthenium–indium complex [In{Ru(CO)2(η-C5H5)}3]1 are described. Complex 1 comprises a trigonal-planar indium centre bonded to three Ru(CO)2(η-C5H5) fragments by unsupported In–Ru bonds. The magnitude of the In–Ru bond lengths are discussed with respect to π bonding vs. ionic bonding in this and related compounds, and the possibility of π bonding is also addressed with regard to the orientations of the Ru(CO)2(η-C5H5) fragments in 1. The syntheses of the diruthenium complexes [InCl{Ru(CO)2(η-C5H5)}2] and [N(PPh3)2][InCl2{Ru(CO)2(η-C5 H5)}2] are also described together with the X-ray crystal structure of the former.
