description

Abstract The two-electron reduction of dinuclear ruthenium complexes [RuCl 2 (η 6 - p -cymene)] 2 ( p -cymene = p -CH 3 C 6 H 4 CH(CH 3 ) 2 ] give the corresponding relatively stable ruthenium(I) dimer derivative. The same species can also be obtained by electrochemical reduction of the cationic complexes [(η 6 - p -cymene)Ru(μ-Cl) 3 Ru(η 6 - p -cymene)]PF 6 . A redox mechanism is proposed.
