A new class of tethered-arene ruthenium(ii) complexes with pendant P and C donor atoms: synthesis of η6:η1:η1 phosphonio-azabutadienyl ruthenabicycles via allenylidene intermediates†
Abstract
The NR)Ph2}]+
(1a–d) results in the formation of the unusual tethered (η6-arene)–ruthenium(II) derivatives 2a–d, via an unprecedented iminophosphorane–allenylidene coupling process.
