The paramagnetic ruthenium complex [(η 5 ‐C 5 Me 5 )RuCl 2 ‐{Sb i Pr 3 }] ( 2 ), which is prepared from [(η 5 ‐C 5 Me 5 )RuCl 2 ] n ( 1 ) and Sb i Pr 3 , reacts with Mg/Hg in THF to give the coordinatively unsaturated 16‐electron species (η 5 ‐C 5 Me 5 )RuCl)(Sb i Pr 3 )] ( 3 ). Compound 3 is obtained in much better yield from [(η 5 ‐C 5 Me 5 )Ru(μ 3 ‐Cl)] 4 ( 4 ) and Sb i Pr 3 (molar ration 1:4). While 3 reacts with CO to give the 18‐electron complex [(η 5 ‐C 5 Me 5 )RuCl(CO)(Sb i Pr 3 )] ( 5 ), on treatment of 3 with HCˇO 2 Me the metallacycle [(η 5 ‐C 5 Me 5 )RuCl{k 2 (C,C)‐C(CO 2 Me}=CHC(CO 2 Me)=CH}(Sb i Pr 3 )] ( 6 ) is obtained. The reaction of 4 with Sb i Pr 3 in the molar ratio of 1:2 affords the binuclear compound [(η 5 ‐C 5 Me 5 )(Sb i Pr 3 )Ru(μ‐Cl) 2 Ru(‐C 5 Me 5 )] ( 7 ). The molecular structures of 2 and 7 have been determined by X‐ray crystallography.
