Exceedingly Facile Ph—X Activation (X=Cl, Br, I) with Ruthenium(II): Arresting Kinetics, Autocatalysis, and Mechanisms†
[(Ph3P)3Ru(L)(H)2] (where L=H2 (1) in the presence of styrene, Ph3P (3), and N2 (4)) cleave the Ph—X bond (X=Cl, Br, I) at RT to give [(Ph3P)3RuH(X)] (2) and PhH. A combined experimental and DFT study points to [(Ph3P)3Ru(H)2] as the reactive species generated upon spontaneous loss of L from 3 and 4...
