Abstract
The reaction of the bis(silylene)ruthenium complex Cp(Ph3P)Ru{SiMe2... O(Me)...SiMe2} (1) with MeOH afforded trans-Cp(Ph3P)RuH(SiMe2OMe)(2) ( 2). Complex 2 reacted further slowly with an excess of MeOH to give tr ans-Cp(Ph3P)-Ru(H)(2)(SiMe2OMe) (3) and Me2Si-(OMe)(2). In contrast, t he reaction of 1 with H2O yielded first the metallacycle Cp(Ph3P)-(RuH SiMe2OSiMe2) (4), which then was converted to the tetrasiloxane comple x [Cp(Ph3P)Ru(H)(2)SiMe2OSiMe2](2)O (5) by the action of an excess of H2O.
