Freytag, MDyson, PJErnst, LJones, PGSchmutzler, R2005-11-092005-11-092005-11-09200210.1016/S1387-7003(02)00573-7https://infoscience.epfl.ch/handle/20.500.14299/219865WOS:000178648800017882The reaction of (E)-bis(2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenyl)diphosphene with Ru-3(CO)(12) results in cleavage of the P=P bond with concomitant C-H activation of one of the t-butyl groups to form Ru-3(mu-H)(2)(CO)(8)(mu-P-C6H2-2,4-Bu-t(2)-6-CMe2CH2)(2). The H-atoms have transferred from the ligand to the metal core. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
