Solid State Isomerization

A two-step synthesis of trans,trans,trans-[RuCl2(CNBut)2(PPh3)2] is described in which the first step uses a microwave reflux to make [RuCl2(PPh3)3] and the second step is the room temperature addition of t-butylisocyanide to a solution of the isolated [RuCl2(PPh3)3]. The final product is isomerized... View More
