Abstract

Abstract: The first ruthenium indane complexes, fac ‐[Ru(NCMe)3 (CO)2 (InX3 )] (X = Cl:1, Br:2 ), were synthesized in the reaction of triruthenium dodecacarbonyl Ru3 (CO)12 with 3 equiv. of InX3 in acetonitrile at 80 °C for 30 min. Reaction of fac ‐[Ru(NCMe)3 (CO)2 (InX3 )] (X = Cl:1, Br:2 ) with PPh3 at a 1:1 molar ratio in acetonitrile at 50 °C for 5 h afforded cis, cis, trans ‐[Ru(NCMe)2 (CO)2 (InX3 )(PPh3 )] (X = Cl:3, Br:4 ). The structures of1 –4 were determined by using single‐crystal X‐ray analysis.
