Abstract

The synthesis and characterisation of [Ru(H)(η5-3-phenylindenyl)(iBu-Phoban)2] 4 is reported (iBu-Phoban = 9-isobutyl-9-phosphabicyclo-[3.3.1]-nonane). 4 is obtained via alcoholysis of metathesis pre-catalyst 11M, in a process that was previously thought to be limited to analogous complex [RuCl2(PPh3)2(3-phenylindenylidene)] (10M).
