The dinuclear complexes [(p-cymene)RuCl2](2) and [(cyclopentadienyl)MCl2](2) (M = Ru, Rh, Ir) are important starting materials in organometallic chemistry. The standard synthesis of these complexes involves heating of an alcoholic solution of Ru-III, Rh-III, or Ir-III salts with precursors of the -ligands for several hours under reflux. Microwave heating allows these complexes to be obtained within a few minutes without compromising the yields. Furthermore, the microwave-assisted syntheses require less solvent and, in some cases, lower amounts of ligand precursors.
