Abstract

Abstract Reaction of N-(aryl) pyridine-2-aldimines (L–R, R= OCH 3, CH 3, H, Cl and NO 2) with [Ru (CO) 2 Cl 2] n in refluxing ethanol affords a group of complexes of type [Ru (L– R)(CO) 2 Cl 2]. In these complexes the diimine ligands (L–R) are coordinated to the metal center as NN-donors forming five-membered chelate rings, the carbonyls are mutually cis and the two chlorides are trans. Crystal structure of [Ru (L–OCH 3)(CO) 2 Cl 2] has been ...
