(η4-Cyclo-octa-1,4-diene)(η6-cyclo-octa-1,3,5-triene)ruthenium(0) chemistry: the role of molecular hydrogen in a new synthetic route to cyclo-olefin ruthenium complexes
Abstract
The use of (η4-cyclo-octa-1,5-diene)(η6-cyclo-octa-1,3,5-triene) ruthenium(0) as a starting material for the preparation of several cyclo-olefin ruthenium complexes and the influence of molecular hydrogen in these reactions are reported.
