Arene ligand exchange reactions in (η4-cyclo-octa-1,5-diene)(η6-naphthalene)ruthenium(0): a convenient route to new ruthenium(0) complexes
Abstract
The reaction of (η4-cyclo-octa-1–5-diene)(η6-cyclo-octa-1,3,5-triene)ruthenium with naphthalene, under H2, affords the complex (η4-cyclo-octa-1,5-diene)(η6-naphthalene)ruthenium which easily undergoes arene exchange reactions in the presence of MeCN.
