A series of half- and mixed-sandwich (Cp? = 1-trifluoromethyl-2,3,4,5-tetramethylcyclopentadienide) ruthenium compounds have been synthesized from a new Cp?Ru synthon, [Cp?Ru(NCCH3)3](PF6). [Cp?Ru-(NCCH3)3J(PF6) is efficiently generated by photolysis of [Cp?RuBz](PF6) in acetonitrile with a quantum yield of approximately 0.34. The methods described here should be useful for the synthesis of other compounds that contain the Cp?Ru group.
