Synthesis and Structure of Distanna and Tristanna Ansa Half-Sandwich Complexes of Ruthenium and Nickel
The synthesis and structural characterization of the first tin-bridged ansa half-sandwich complexes via a two-step protocol from Na[eta(5)-C5H5Ru(CO)(2)] and in situ generated Na[eta(5)-C5H5Ni(CO)] are presented. Both compounds are characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal diffraction.
