title: The synthesis of a novel cyclo-Se3-bridged trinuclear Ru complex.
abstract: The reaction of [[RuCl[P(OCH3)3]2]2(mu-Se2)(mu-Cl)2] with four equivalents of NaPF6 gave [[Ru[P(OCH3)3]2(CH3CN)3]2(mu-Se2)](PF6)3 and [[Ru[P(OCH3)3]2(CH3CN)(mu-Cl)]2(mu-cyclo-Se3)[Ru[P(OCH3)3]2(CH3CN)3]](PF6)4. The former is a Ru(II) Ru(III) mixed-valent paramagnetic compound. The X-ray structural analysis of the latter compound revealed that it has a novel mu-cyclo-Se3 neutral ligand and three Ru(II) atoms.
