Abstract
Oxidation of the pseudo-triple-decker complex Cp 2 Ru 2 (μ-cyclo-C 8 H 8 ) (1) proceeds by a two-electron process at ambient temperatures to give the stable dication Cp 2 Ru 2 (μ-cat-C 8 H 8 ) 2+ (2). Whereas the bridging C 8 H 8 moiety of 1 is a cyclooctatetraene ring, the C 8 H 8 group in 2 is an open chain, so that the dication is a «flyover» complex. Insertion of both metal atoms into a C-C bond of the cyclooctatetraene is thus observed as a consequence of the redox process
