Abstract
The RuII complexes [RuCl(R-PCP)(PPh3)] (R-PCP = [C6H3{CH(Me)PPh2}2-2,6]- (7a), [C6H3{CH(Et)PPh2}2-2,6]- (7b), or [C6H2{CH2PPh2}2-2,6-SiMe3-4]- (9)) were synthesized using distinct synthetic routes. One of these routes consists of the reaction of the parent arene compound R-PCHP (i.e., C6H4{CH(Me)PPh2}2-1,3 (6a), C6H4{CH(Et)PPh2}2-1,3 (6b), or C6H3(CH2PPh2)2-2,6-SiMe3-4 (8)) with [RuCl2(PPh3)3] in 1,2-dichloroethane. Following this procedure, complexes 7a
