Product Description:

[RuCl2(p-cymene)]2 is a dimeric ruthenium(II) complex featuring two chloride bridges and two p-cymene ligands. It is a dark red to brown crystalline powder, stable under inert atmosphere, and serves as a versatile precursor in organometallic chemistry. This compound is widely employed as a catalyst or catalyst precursor in various organic transformations, notably in olefin metathesis, transfer hydrogenation, and C-H bond activation reactions. It is a key starting material for the synthesis of Grubbs-type and other ruthenium-based catalysts, and is also used in asymmetric catalysis when combined with chiral ligands. Due to its air sensitivity and moisture reactivity, it is typically handled under inert gas. Its high catalytic activity and selectivity make it indispensable in both academic research and industrial process development for fine chemical synthesis.
