Dichloro(p-cymene)ruthenium(II) dimer（Cat No.:R044138）is an organometallic complex consisting of two ruthenium centers each coordinated to a p-cymene ligand and bridged by two chloride ions. This air-stable, orange crystalline compound is widely used as a precatalyst in various catalytic transformations, including C–H activation, olefin metathesis, transfer hydrogenation, and cross-coupling reactions. Its arene ligand imparts stability and modulates the electronic properties of the metal center, enhancing reactivity and selectivity. Due to its well-defined structure and broad functional group compatibility, it is a valuable tool in synthetic and organometallic chemistry.
