Pentamethylcyclopentadienyl diruthenium chemistry
Abstract
The Chemistry of the diruthenium centre, when stabilised by η-C5Me5 ligands, provides examples of new organic transformations (e.g. isomerisation of ethylene to ethylidene, addition of ethylene to vinylidene) and new species {e.g.[Ru2(CO)2(µ-H)2(η-C5Me5)2]}.
