Abstract We just need to mix [Ru(CO) 3 Cl 2 (thf)] with methanolic NEt 4 OH—nature will do the rest: The unsaturated fragments thus generated spontaneously polymerize with production of CO 2 and H 2 O, which combine to give the carbonate ligands of the ruthena‐crown species obtained (shown schematically). The carbonate groups, rarely seen in ruthenium carbonyl complexes, are responsible for the observed annulation, and hold consecutive Ru dimers together by acting as bridging and doubly chelating ligands.
