Abstract
The compound [RuH(CO)2(η5-C5H5)] formed in situ during the reaction of [Ru3(CO)12] with cyclopentadiene has been found to add in a stereo- and regio-specific manner to endo-dicyclopentadiene to afford the alkyl derivative [Ru(C10H13)(CO)2(η5-C5H5)] which undergoes a facile carbonylation to the acyl complex [Ru(COC10H13)-(CO)2(η5-C5H5)]. The structure of [Ru(COC10H13)(CO)2(η5-C5H5)] was determined by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis; crystals are triclinic, space group P, a= 6.342(1), b= 7.144(2), c= 81.491(4)Å, α= 86.65(3), β= 85.98(4), γ= 71.41(2)°, and Z= 2. The final R value was 0.034 for 2402 observed reflections.Keywords
