On the move! Novel diruthenium dihydrido [{( η 5 ‐C 5 Me 5 )Ru} 2 (PR 3 )( μ ‐H) 2 ] complexes, which were synthesized in the reaction of [{( η 5 ‐C 5 Me 5 )Ru} 2 ( μ ‐H) 4 ] with a phosphorus ligand containing no aryl substituents, undergo intramolecular migration of the phosphorus ligand between the two ruthenium centers (see scheme). Support for this result is derived from variable temperature NMR spectroscopic studies and preliminary DFT calculations.
