Abstract
New air-stable ruthenium(II) complexes that contain the aryldiamine ligand [C6H3(CH2NMe2)2-2,6]- (NCN) are described. These complexes are [RuCl{2-C,N-C6H3(CH2NMe2)2-2,6}(6-C10H14)] (2; C10H14 = p-cymene = C6H4Me-iPr-4), [Ru{2-C,N-C6H3(CH2NMe2)2-2,6}(5-C5H5)(PPh3)] (5), and their isomeric forms [RuCl{2-C,N-C6H3(CH2NMe2)2-2,4}(6-C10H14)] (3) and [Ru{2-C,N-C6H3(CH2NMe2)2-2,4}(5-C5H5)(PPh3)] (6), respectively. Complex 2 has been prepared from the reaction of [Li(NCN)]2 with [RuCl2(6-C10H14)]2, whereas complex 5
