General description

Pentamethylcyclopentadienyltris (acetonitrile)ruthenium(II) hexafluorophosphate is an organoruthenium compound. It is used as a homogeneous catalyst in organic synthesis. It enables the hydrosilylation of alkynes, cyclotrimerization of alkynes, cycloaddition reactions, and carbon-carbon or carbon-heteroatom bond-forming reactions.

Application

Hydrosilylation Catalysts
A versatile catalyst for hydrosilylation of alkynes providing α-vinylsilanes.
Reagent use as catalyst precursors for carbon-carbon or carbon-heteroatom bond forming reactions.
