A coordinatively unsaturated ruthenacycle, which was formed from Cp*RuCl(cod) and 1,2-bis(phenylpropiolyl)benzene, was isomerized to a new sandwich complex consisting of a Cp* and a naphthoquinone-fused cyclobutadiene ligand at ambient temperature. On the other hand, the treatment of the same ruthen...
