Photodimerizationof (η5-cyclopentadienyl)(η6-dibenzo-p-quinodimethane)ruthenium(II) hexafluorophosphate
Abstract
Photodimerization of [(RuCp)(η6-dbqm)]+PF6–3(Cp =η5-cyclopentadienyl; dbqm = dibenzo-p-quinodimethane) in solution using visible light selectively afforded a stable organometallic adduct of the normally labile intramolecular photoisomer of [2.2](9,10)anthracenophane.
