The reaction between [Ru2Cl2(μ2‐Cl)2(CO)6] and the biradicaloid [P(μ‐NTer)]2 proceeds under insertion of a Ru(II)Cl(CO)2 fragment into one P−N bond and addition of chloride to the adjacent phosphorus center. Thereby an unprecedented inorganic ruthenacycle is obtained that was investigated by single crystal X‐ray analysis, NMR and IR spectroscopy and DFT calculations. The reactivity of the complex in a halide‐pseudo‐halide exchange reaction and a coordination reaction were investigated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
