Diruthenium complexes have been shown to effectively catalyze the silylation of carbon hydrogen bonds in benzene and pyridine. Investigating the transition metal-C-H or Si-H interactions that occur during this process can help to improve diruthenium catalysts and other catalysts of C-H bond silylation. A dimethyl diphosphine diruthenium complex was synthesized and characterized using NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. The protonation of the dimethyl complex will be presented.
