Reaction of 3-butenoic acid with Ru(cod)(cot) (cod) = 1-2-{eta}{sup 2}:5-6-{eta}{sup 2}-cyclooctadiene; cot = 1-6-{eta}{sup 6}-cyclooctatriene in the presence of PMe{sub 3} gives a new ruthenium(II) complex formulated as Ru(1-5-{eta}{sup 5}-C{sub 8}H{sub 11}){eta}{sup 1}(O),{eta}{sup 2}(C,C{prime}-OCOCH{sub 2}CH{double bond}CH{sub 2})(PMe{sub 3}) (1). X-ray crystallography revealed its structure as having a piano-stool coordination around the ruthenium center. Crystals of 1 are tetragonal, space group P4{sub 3}2{sub 1}2, with a = 12.559 (3) {angstrom}, c = 20.455 (4) {angstrom}, and Z = 8. {sup 1}H and {sup 13}C({sup 1}H) NMR spectra of 1 agree well for the structure with the allyl entity of the carboxylate {pi}-bonded through the C{double bond}C double bond to ruthenium.
