Reactions of RuCl(C=CHBut)(PPH3)(h-C5Me5) with tertiary phosphites: Molecular structure of RuCl{P(OPh)3}2(h-C5Me5)

Abstract

<jats:p> Reactions between RuCl(C=CHBut)(PPh3)(η-C5Me5) and tertiary phosphites result in displacement of both vinylidene and tertiary phosphine ligands to give RuCl{P(OR)3}2(η-C5Me5) (R = Me, Ph). The crystal and molecular structures of RuCl{P(OPh)3}2(η-C5Me5) are reported.</jats:p>
