A Ruthenium-Carbon Triple Bond Has Been Constrained in a Five-Membered Ring

Caption

A ruthenium-carbon triple bond has been constrained in a five-membered ring to generate ruthenapentalynes. The metallacycle of ruthenapentalyne is highly strained due to the bent RuC-C moiety, considerably deviating from its linear nature.
