The potassium–naphthalene reduction of dichloro(tetraisocyanide)ruthenium complexes 1 affords the (tetraisocyanide)ruthenate dianions 2 , which can be trapped with electrophiles and partially characterized by IR spectroscopy. Thus 2 reacts with Ph 3 SnCl by oxidative addition to give 3 ( trans isomers). But 2 also reacts analogous to [Fe(CO) 4 ] 2− , with Si‐ and C‐electrophiles. R = t Bu, 2,6‐Me 2 C 6 H 3 .
