Abstract
A series of half- and mixed-sandwich (Cp‡ = 1-trifluoromethyl-2,3,4,5-tetramethylcyclopentadienide) ruthenium compounds have been synthesized from a new Cp‡Ru synthon, [Cp‡Ru(NCCH3)3](PF6). [Cp‡Ru-(NCCH3)3J(PF6) is efficiently generated by photolysis of [Cp‡RuBz](PF6) in acetonitrile with a quantum yield of approximately 0.34. The methods described here should be useful for the synthesis of other compounds that contain the Cp‡Ru group.
