Abstract
RuCl(dppf)(η-C 5H 5) was treated with NH 4PF 6 in acetonitrile to give the cationic complex [Ru(CH 3CN)(dppf)(q-C 5H 5)]PF 6 in good yield, in which no sbonding interaction between iron and ruthenium atoms was found. The reaction of RuCl (dppf) (η-C 5H 5) with terminal acetylene in the presence of NH 4PF 6 gave the corresponding vinylidene complexes, which were converted on treatment with base or alumina to the corresponding acetylide complexes. A similar reaction with methyl propiolate at room temperature gave the corresponding vinyl ether complex rather than the acetylide complex as a main product, and a novel degradation reaction to the cationic carbonyl complex was also observed.
