X-ray, 13C NMR, and DFT studies on the cationic Ru(IV) allyl complex Ru(Cp*)Cl(CH3CN)(η3PhCHCHCH 2), as a PF6 salt, have revealed a marked asymmetry in the bonding of the allyl ligand, which can be interpreted as arising from differences in π-bonding from the metal center to the two terminal allyl carbons. This asymmetry in the bonding is offered as an explanation for the observed control of regioselectivity in the Rucatalyzed allylic alkylation reaction.
