The dimeric ruthenium complex [Cp∧RuCl 2 ] 2 is easily accessible in a one‐pot reaction from RuCl 3 (solv) n and tert ‐butylacetylene. It features sterically very demanding “Cp‐roof” ligands (Cp∧ = η 5 ‐1‐methoxy‐2,4‐ tert ‐butyl‐3‐neopentylcyclopentadienyl), which impart a unique reactivity. Herein we describe the synthesis and the characterization of novel Cp∧Ru complexes bearing a bridging carbene ligand, a linear imido ligand, or an orthometalated phosphine ligand. Furthermore, the microwave‐assisted syntheses of the bimetallic complexes [Cp∧Ru(μ‐Cl) 3 Ru( p ‐cymene)] and [Cp∧Ru(μ‐Cl) 3 RhCp*] are described.
