Replacement of the naphthalene ligand in ruthenium complex [CpRu(C 10H8)]+ (1) by halide anions readily proceeds at room temperature to give insoluble oligomeric species [CpRuX]n (X = Cl, Br, I). Similar reactions in the presence of mono- or bidentate ligands afford complexes [CpRuL2X] where L = CO, P(OMe)3, tBuNC; L2 = dppm, dppe, dppp, bipy, phen, cod, nbd, or 1,4- diphenylbutadiene. Useful catalysts [CpRu(cod)X] were obtained by this method in 70-90 % yields. The structure of [CpRu(cod)I] was determined by X-ray diffraction. Reaction of 1 with Br- and allyl bromide afforded RuIV complex [CpRu(η3-C3H 5)]Br2. Cation 1 also was found to react with azide anion in the presence of bidentate phosphanes to afford [CpRuL2N 3] (L2 = dppm, dppe). Reaction of 1 with neutral ligands in the absence of nucleophilic anions proceeded under visible-light irradiation to give cationic complexes [CpRuL3]+ [L = CO, P(OMe) 3, P(OEt)3, tBuNC] in 80-90 % yields. Complex 1 (2 mol-%) catalyzed cyclotrimerization of dipropargyl Meldrum's acid with various alkynes RC≡CH [R = H, Bu, Hex, Ph, SiMe3, (CH2) 4C≡CH, (CH2)3OH, (CH2) 2Br, CH2OMe, CH2OAc, CH2NMeBoc] producing benzene derivatives in 50-85 % yields. According to DFT calculations, the attack of the first ligand (Cl- or L) is a rate-determining step in the naphthalene replacement in 1. The activation barrier for attack of the Cl- anion is ca. 10 kcal mol-1 lower in energy than that of the neutral ligands L = CO, MeNC, MeCN, thus providing a rationale for the faster reaction in the presence of halide anions. The barriers for naphthalene replacement in 1 were also found to be ca. 10-15 kcal mol-1 lower in energy than those for the benzene replacement in [CpRu(C6H 6)]+. The readily available (naphthalene)ruthenium complex 1 was shown to be a convenient precursor for various [CpRuL2X] complexes and an efficient catalyst for the cyclotrimerization of 1,6-diynes with assorted alkynes.

Stoichiometric amounts of RuCl(PPh3)2(η-C5H5) and dppm react in refluxing C6H6 to give RuCl(PPh3)(η1-dppm)(η-C5H5), which has been fully characterized by an X-ray study (triclinic, space group P, a 22.377(6), b 9.913(2), c 9.826(3) Angstroem, α 70.46(2), β 78.72(2), γ 80.40(2) deg, Z 2) in which 3299 data were refined to R 0.046, R' 0.052.Structural parameters are similar to those of other RuX(PR3)2(η-C5H5) complexes.The chloro complex was converted was converted into 2-dppm)(η-C5H5)>+ salts; the other PPh3 ligand can be replaced by a second dppm ligand to give +, which contains both mono- and bidentate dppm ligands.Alkylation of the uncoordinated phosphorus with Mel is accompanied by halogen exchange to give I, while reactions with a variety of transition metal complexes result in abstraction of PPh3 and formation of RuCl(dppm)(η-C5H5).
