Preparation of Alkanechalcogenolate- and Benzenechalcogenolate-Bridged Diruthenium Complexes and Their Catalytic Activity toward Propargylation of Acetone with Propargylic Alcohol
e (SPh, SePh, TePh)-bridged dirutheniumcomplexes have been newly prepared, and their catalytic activity toward the propargylation of acetone with propargylicalcohol has been investigated for comparison. Ab initio molecular orbital calculations of syn and anti methanechalcogenolate-bridged, propane-2-selenolate-bridged, and benzenethiolate-bridged dirutheniumcomplexes have been carried out to explain
