Abstract
- Abstract: The metallofulvene or carbene complex RuII(PI)(PCy3)2Cl2 with PI=3-phenylindenylidene and Cy=cyclohexyl shows a long-wavelength absorption at λ max =490nm which is attributed to a RuII → π ∗ carbene MLCT transition. MLCT excitation leads to a reversible release of the carbene ligand which can be intercepted by oxygen. The oxygen adduct (or O-oxide) undergoes a fragmentation which yields CO2 and anthracene.
