(E= c, si). Reaction of 1 with hexakis (p-methoxyphenoxy) benzene yields I [C~* RU (~-CH~ O-~-C~ H~-~)]~~~~~+(~ T~)~. A single-crystal X-ray analysis of ([Cp* RU (p-CH3O-?-C6H4- o)] 6c6~(oTf) 6'6CH3No~(triclinic, PT (No. 2); a= 15.784 (3) A, b= 16.539 (4) A, c= 17.817 (3) A, LY= 65.47 (2) O, p= 61.82 (2) O, y= 63.86 (3) O, V= 3552.2 A3, Z= 1) shows that the hexacation contains an octahedral array of ruthenium atoms.
