The reaction of coordinatively unsaturated ruthenium( II ) with a tethered (alkenylvinyl)cyclopropane results in the preparation of the first (cyclodecadienyl)ruthenium complex (see scheme; open coordination sites on the ruthenium center may be occupied by the solvent (acetone) or acetonitrile). This unprecedented reaction raises intriguing mechanistic and synthetic possibilities.
