An unprecedented intramolecular coupling of o-carboranyl and cyclopentadienyl. Synthesis and structural characterization of a ruthenium complex containing a novel doubly-bridged cyclopentadienyl-carboranyl ligand.
A novel ruthenium-mediated coupling reaction of a carboranyl with a cyclopentadienyl was discovered for the first time, leading to a brand new doubly-bridged cyclopentadienyl-carboranyl ligand bearing two five-membered rings and to a new type of chiral ruthenium complex.
