The complimenting editor probably is unfamiliar with the Chemistry Project, much less chemistry. I will leave note on that article. --Smokefoot (talk) 14:03, 21 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Re "that a lot of the compounds derived from title compound are important catalysts..."

edit

I am wondering about the remark quoted above: no (i.e., zero) compound derived from Cp*RuCl2 have been applied to anything, except niche academic work. But if you find a a commercial example, please cite it especially relying on WP:SECONDARY, our preferred ref method. Skeptically, --Smokefoot (talk) 22:46, 20 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Well, I take that back. The article is a review (per WP:SECONDARY), and it makes the point that the reaction is versatile. --Smokefoot (talk) 23:42, 20 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
Yes, but I will still look to see if there are more "real-world" applications. I sense there are given its availability from commercial vendors. RoBunsen (talk) 13:27, 21 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
Thanks Smokefoot. Applying the logic that "things need to move beyond niche academic work" should lead us to remove this Wikipedia article all together. For instance, what role does the title compound have in society outside of niche academic science? As you noted: zero. However, we don't make this argument. If a student of organometallic chemistry wanted to learn about the important uses of this Ru(III) compound, it would be nice to know there are real down-stream synthetic applications such as in Total Synthesis. You can usually judge a compounds utility by its availability (or not) from commercial vendors. Both Sigma Aldrich and Strem carry the Cp*RuCl(COD) complex, in addition to the tetramer and other related compounds. So I respectfully disagree with your skepticism, but nonetheless am thankful for your comment. RoBunsen (talk) 13:25, 21 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
We can agree to disagree on details, but its a nice reference to add to that article. I hope that a student does not conclude that Cp*Ru is somehow important though. Interesting, yes but my criterion for important is that commercial products are made using a catalyst. Aldrich and Strem sell all kinds of things, may the gods bless them for doing so.--Smokefoot (talk) 14:01, 21 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
The use of Cp*RuCl is a new(er) field and the importance is growing; just because one is not aware of the "real-world" applications does not mean they do not exist or that it is not important. For example, Cp*Ru compounds, and CpRu compounds, are being used in pharmaceutical synthesis. Here are two papers that use Cp*Ru compounds: https://doi.org/10.1021/acsmedchemlett.8b00530, https://doi.org/10.1021/ml400175d, both of which have been cited by other pharmaceutical journals. Given that the most prominent synthesis of Cp*RuCl(COD) uses the Ru(III) Cp* as an intermediate, the title compound is an important precursor. Furthermore, the utility of Cp*Ru compounds are not just in hydrogenation. Cyclo additions, ring closings, and a few other "niche" (as you put it) applications are being explored. The edit you made is therefore incorrect. The use of CpRu compounds have been used in approved drugs (https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jmedchem.7b00010).

I see, its a touchy subject for you. Yikes. Most folks would be happy with its thf complex. --Smokefoot (talk) 15:40, 29 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

for folks doing synthesis? I think not. RoBunsen (talk) 00:14, 30 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
