Abstract

Thermolysis of Ru(PPh₃)₃(CO)H₂ with the N-heterocyclic carbene bis(1,3-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene) (IMes) results in C-C activation of an Ar-CH₃ bond in one of the mesityl rings of the carbene ligand. Upon addition of IMes to Ru(PPh₃)₃(CO)H₂ at room temperature in the presence of an alkene, C-H bond activation is observed instead. The thermodynamics of these C-C and C-H cleavage reactions have been probed using density functional theory.
