Ruthenium complexes of the type [RuX(Cp′)(PPh3)2] (X=Cl and H; Cp′=Cp, Cp*, indenyl, and carboranyl) efficiently catalyse olefin cyclopropanation with diazoesters, and the cis/trans stereoselectivity of the resulting cyclopropanes strongly depends on the Cp′ ligand. With [RuCl(Cp*)(PAr3)2] complexes, cyclopropanation competes with the formal carbene insertion into C-H vinyl bonds of styrene, whereas ring-opening metathesis polymerisation takes place with norbornene, lending support to the formation of ruthenium-carbene and ruthenacyclobutanes as intermediates in these reactions.

The remarkably stable cationic, three-coordinate, 14-electron rhodium complex 1 has been synthesized, isolated and used as a catalyst for hydrosilation, Mukaiyama aldol and cyclopropanation reactions.
Cyclopropanation Catalysed by RuCl2(PPh3)3 and OsCl2(PPh3)3

OsCl2(PPh3)3 is a cyclopropanation catalyst using ethyl diazoacetate with a variety of activated alkenes; OsCl2(PPh3)3 is however less active than RuCl2(PPh3)3 for the decomposition of the diazo reagent and the subsequent cyclopropanation.
