title: Trapping a pseudo-Hofmann rearrangement on a ruthenium cluster.
abstract: In the clusters [Ru3(micro(3)-NPPh(3))(micro(3)-OSiMe(3))(micro-X)(micro(C,O)-OC[double bond]NPPh(3))(micro-CO)(CO)6] (X = NCO, 2; X = Cl, 3), which were prepared by a pyrolytic reaction of Ph(3)PNSiMe(3) with Ru(3)(CO)12, the ligands result from a cluster-mediated pseudo-Hofmann rearrangement involving the micro-NCO, micro(C,O)-Ph(3)P[double bond]N-CO and micro(3)-NPPh(3) fragments.
