On the fly : Reduction of 1,1′‐bis( o ‐carborane) and subsequent reaction with a source of {Ru( p ‐cymene)} 2+ fragments yields a fly‐over bridge species resulting from room‐temperature CC bond cleavage of a p ‐cymene ligand. DFT calculations suggest that the arene is sandwiched between two Ru atoms as part of a metallacarborane (see picture; C gray, B yellow, Ru red) and reduced by the second, pendant, carborane.
