Abstract

The addition of HSiMe2Cl to the unsaturated compound Cp*(iPr3P)RuCl gives an unstable adduct which, according to NMR (J(H-Si)= 33.5 Hz), X-ray crystal structure and DFT evidence, is a silane sigma-complex Cp*(iPr3P)Ru(Cl)(eta2-HSiMe2Cl) supported by an unprecedented, simultaneous inter-ligand RuCl...SiCl hypervalent interaction between the chloride ligand on ruthenium and the SiMe2Cl group.
