摘要：

The 14-electron ruthenium phosphonium alkylidene complex [(IH2Mes)Cl2Ru=CH(PCy3)][B(C6F5)4], 1b, a highly active olefin metathesis catalyst, reacts with stoichiometric quantities of ethylene at -50 °C in CD2Cl2 to generate the ruthenacyclobutane complex [(IH2Mes)Cl2RuCH2CH2CH2], 2, and [CH2=CH(PCy3)][B(C6F5)4] in quantitative yield by NMR spectroscopy. 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopies on 2 and 2-13C3 are consistent with a symmetrical C2v structure, providing the first experimental information concerning this crucial intermediate in ruthenium-mediated olefin metathesis. At -50 °C, exchange with free ethylene takes place on the chemical time scale. Complex 2 decomposes in solution upon warming to room temperature, generating propene and unknown ruthenium product(s).
