Novel reactions of alkynes on a coordinatively unsaturated diruthenium centre bridged by thiolate ligands. Syntheses and crystal structures of dinuclear ruthenacyclopentenyl complexes
Abstract
The coordinatively unsaturated complex [(η5-C5Me5)Ru(µ2-SPri)2Ru(η5-C5Me5)]1 reacts with CCR {R = Tol (p-MeCe6H4) or [graphic omitted]H2} to form novel dinuclear ruthenacyclopentenyl complexes 2 and 3, respectively, both of which have been fully characterized by X-ray crystallography.
