Synthesis of [RuCl₂(NO)₂(THF)] and its Double CN Bond‐Forming Reactions with Alkenes

Unruly NO more: The synthesis of [RuCl2(NO)2(THF)] has been achieved by the reaction of [{(cymene)RuCl2}2] with NO in THF. In the presence of a chelating L2-type ligand [RuCl2(NO)2(THF)] binds alkenes to its nitrosyl nitrogen atoms (see scheme).
