Intermolecular Activation of n-Alkanes by a Trinuclear Ruthenium Pentahydride Complex-Formation of closo-Ruthenacyclopentadiene Complexes.
The successive activation of alkane C-H bonds on a trinuclear ruthenium cluster enables cleavage of six C-H bonds and the formation of a closo-ruthenacyclopentadiene complex (the structure of the complex obtained with hexane is shown).
