Abstract

A single-crystal X-ray structural analysis of the complex [Cp* R~(p~-Cl) 1~(1, Cp*= q5-C5 (CH3),) has been performed (triclinic, P1 (No. 2); a= 11.281 (5); b= 11.354 (4); c= 18.846 (5) A; a= 82.20 (2) O, j3= 82.03 (3) O, y= 65.45 (4) O; V= 2166.3 A3, 2= 2). The complex contains a distorted cubic array of ruthenium and chlorine atoms. The complex 1 is a useful precursor to Ru (O), Ru (II), and Ru (1V) pentamethylcyclopentadienyl complexes. ...
