Dichloromethane; dichlororuthenium; 1-methyl-4-propan-2-ylbenzene; triphenylphosphane(CAT: R074713) refers to a coordination complex in which a ruthenium(II) center is ligated by two chloride ions, an η⁶-arene ligand (1-methyl-4-propan-2-ylbenzene, or p-cymene), and triphenylphosphane. This organoruthenium compound is notable for its stability, tunable reactivity, and ability to mediate various catalytic transformations, including hydrogenation, transfer hydrogenation, and C–C/C–X bond-forming reactions. The presence of p-cymene imparts steric and electronic modulation to the metal center, while triphenylphosphane enhances ligand lability and substrate activation. It is widely studied in homogeneous catalysis, organometallic chemistry, and fine chemical synthesis as a model complex for designing new ruthenium-based catalysts.
