Dicarbonyltris(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium(0) or Roper’s complex is a ruthenium metal carbonyl. In it two carbon monoxide ligands and three triphenylphosphine ligands are coordinated to a central ruthenium(0) center.In solution this compound readily dissociates one of the three phosphine ligands thereby generating a reactive 16-electron complex that binds or oxidatively adds a variety of substrates such as alkynes olefins dihydrogen and dioxygen.
