Keywords: Homogeneous catalysis Organometallics Ruthenium Pi-arene metal complexes Expertise: We are studying Ru(Ρ6-arene)LnâŻcomplexes as catalysts. Binding of arenes to Ru increases their reactivity towards several processes (SNAr, CâH activation, Trifluoromethylation etc.). However, the Ruâ(Ρ6-arene) bond is strong and a stoichiometric amount of Ru is required. Our goal is to develop systems in whichâŚ
