Abstract

Two trans diynyl ligands are found in ruthenium complex 1, which is prepared from cis‐[RuCl2(dppm)2] (dppm = bis(diphenylphosphino)methane) and the appropriate organotin compound accompanied by elimination of Bu3SnCl. Complex 1 is treated with HBF4 · Et2O in methanol to form the salt 2, which contains the first‐ever bis(allenylidene)metal unit in its dication. This type of complex is especially interesting in view of the unusual physical properties anticipated for it. \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$\widehat{\rm PP}$\end{document} = dppm.
