Abstract

Deprotonation of [Ru(C6Me6)2]2+ generates the new o-xylylene complex Ru(C6Me6)[C6Me4(CH2)2]. The X-ray crystallographic study confirms that the metal is coordinated to the endocyclic diene system. The exocyclic methylenes are nucleophilic and can be reacted with electrophiles in a stepwise manner. This has allowed the isolation of a new exo-(methylene)cyclohexadienyl complex.
