A new binding geometry for an ortho-xylylene-linked bis(NHC)cyclophane: a ruthenium(II) complex with a chelating (g1-NHC)2:g6-arene ligand
Using two different reaction procedures, a Ru(II) complex has been isolated that contains an ortho-xylylene-linked bis(NHC)cyclophane (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) that binds to the Ru centre through two carbene carbons and one of the arene rings in an η6-mode.
