Abstract
The oxidative electrochemistry of [(HMB)RuCl2]2 (1) (HMB=eta6-C6Me6) r eveals the formation of an Ru(III) arene complex (HMB)RuCl3 (2). It is shown that the corresponding anion [(HMB)RuCl3]- (2-) is present in a n equilibrium in CH2Cl2 solution of 1. Complex 2 is prepared by chlori nation of 1 as the first arene complex of Ru(III).
