摘要

Reactions of the open-cage fullerene C63NO2(Py)(Ph)(2) (1) with [Ru-3(CO)(12)] produce [Ru-3(CO)(8)(,(5)-C63NO2(Py)(Ph)(2))] (2), [Ru2H(CO)(3)(,(7)-C63N(Py)(Ph)(C6H4))] (3), and [Ru(CO)(Py)(2()(3)-C63NO2(Py)(Ph)(2))] (4), in which the orifice sizes are modified from 12 to 8, 11, and 15-membered ring, through ruthenium-mediated CO and CC bond activation and formation.
