Abstract
Mono- and binuclear ruthenium(II) complexes containing ligands derived from the meta-bis(phosphanyl)arene ligand 1-R-3,5-(CH2PPh2)2C6H3 [R-PCHP: R = H (5), Br (3), or Si(n-CH2CH2C8F17)3 (4)] have been synthesized and fully characterized. On reaction of equimolar amounts of the ruthenium starting material (e.g. [RuCl2(PPh3)3]) and the meta-bis(phosphanyl)arene, complexes of the type [RuCl{C6H2(CH2PPh2)2-2,6-R-4}(PPh3)] are
