The reaction of Ru(=CHPh)Cl2(PCy3)2 (1) with two equivalents of CF3CO2Ag gives Ru2(=CHPh)2(CF3CO2) 2(μ-CF3CO2)2(PCy 3)2(μ-H2O) (2) in high yield. The crystal structure of 2 reveals that the ruthenium atoms are bridged by two trifluoroacetate groups and one water molecule, and that the ruthenium coordination is distorted octahedral. Complex 2 is active in the metathesis of internal alkenes.
