Abstract

Abstract The dimeric ruthenium complex [Cp∧RuCl2]2 is easily accessible in a one‐pot reaction from RuCl3(solv)n and tert‐butylacetylene. It features sterically very demanding “Cp‐roof” ligands (Cp∧ = η5‐1‐methoxy‐2,4‐tert‐butyl‐3‐neopentylcyclopentadienyl), which impart a unique reactivity. Herein we describe the synthesis and the characterization of novel Cp∧Ru complexes bearing a bridging carbene ligand, a linear imido ligand, or an orthometalated phosphine ligand. Furthermore, the microwave‐assisted syntheses of the bimetallic complexes [Cp∧Ru(μ‐Cl)3Ru(p‐cymene)] and [Cp∧Ru(μ‐Cl)3RhCp*] are described.
